I could eat Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps every day, all day, for every meal, for all of the days of my life.

I’m obsessed with them times a million! And bonus points for being so so so so easy. The sauce is made of soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, sriracha, and sesame oil–yum to the yum yum yummy.

If you have a WOK, I would definitely use it, however, a large skillet works perfectly fine. I love using butter lettuce because it’s light and crisp & has the perfect little pockets to hold the chicken mixture, romaine and boston lettuce work great as well. Lettuce Wraps make for the perfect appetizer or low-carb dinner at home.

Simply arrange lettuce wraps on a plate, spoon the chicken mixture into each and garnish with green onions. I also like to serve with a generous side of sriracha for those that want a little extra heat. 🙂
