The Best Ever Healthy Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps

The lettuce

Now, I do realize that the “lettuce” pictured in these photos is actually cabbage. That is what I had on hand when I made this recipe, so it’s what I used for these wraps! However, feel free to use romaine, butter, iceberg, or leaf lettuce for these wraps.

The chicken

I recommend using fresh, organic chicken for this recipe. The best place to purchase organic chicken is through Butcher Box! All of their meats are healthy, free from added antibiotics and hormones, and the best quality. Not to mention that they’re delivered right to your doorstep – such a win! Get $20 off of your first Butcher Box HERE.

How to make lettuce wrap filling

The Thai Chicken filling for these lettuce wraps is so easy to make! Simply cook organic chicken (ground or cubed) in a skillet or pan, then set aside. Cook the mushrooms and peppers together, then add the chicken back in. Mix the Thai sauce and pour over the skillet, then top with green onions. Place the filling in washed lettuce and enjoy!

    Absolutely beautiful – I love this dish! It’s so easy to prepare and it’s almost too pretty and colourful to eat. Ha! I added extra peanuts, because I love peanuts on Asian food!

    These lettuce wraps look delicious, and they would be perfect for lunch or a light dinner. I’ve never heard of Butcher Box but I’ll definitely take a look, because I buy chicken all the time and would love to find a good organic chicken.

    I love salad in any form. I think the most delicious form is in a lettuce wrap. The fresh crunchy lettuce wrapped over some delicious flavored protein is my favorite go to lunch.
