Inspired by Thai ingredients, this recipe is perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Use lettuce instead of a tortilla wrap to reduce calories and carbs, and amp up chicken with lime juice, chiles and basil for a quick and healthy sandwich alternative. Lettuce wraps are surprisingly travel-friendly: pack the lettuce leaves and filling separately and assemble when it's time for lunch.

Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Stefficee

Number Of Ingredients 14

SAUCE:
2 tablespoons oil
1/4 small onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
10 ounces ground chicken
1/2 cup whole roasted cashew nuts
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
1 head butter lettuce
3 tablespoons Thai sweet chili sauce
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves
Pinch white sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl, stir to combine well. Clean the butter lettuce, peel each leaf off the stem, set aside. Heat up a wok or skillet on medium heat and add the oil. When the oil is heated, add the onion and garlic, stir-fry until they are slightly browned. Add the ground chicken, stir continuously with the spatula, breaking up the lumps. Add the cashew nuts, fish sauce, and sweet soy sauce. Stir to combine well. Continue to cook until the filling becomes dry but remains moist. Add the cilantro and turn off the heat. To assemble the lettuce wraps, add 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the middle of the butter lettuce, and top with some sauce. Wrap it up and eat immediately. *If you can't find sweet soy sauce, just use regular soy sauce and add a little sugar to taste.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can simply toss it with the sauce ingredients and cook it. The chicken will still be flavorful, but it won't be as tender.
  • You can use any type of lettuce you like for these wraps. Butter lettuce, bibb lettuce, and iceberg lettuce are all good choices.
  • Be sure to wash and dry the lettuce leaves thoroughly before using them. This will help to prevent the wraps from getting soggy.
