Before you run off because you saw "peanut butter" in these chicken lettuce wraps, I'll have you know there's easy substitutes to peanut butter. Almond butter, cashew or sunflower would all work!

Working with clients 1:1 and in my membership group, I've come to realize so many people need food substitutions these days. Not only does that make my job challenging, but also frustrating. Frustrating because a lot of people self diagnose what they "believe" they're sensitive to instead of getting real answers.

Case in point, a women in my group coaching program told me she couldn't eat almonds. I explained to her that almonds are sprayed with a ton of chemicals. She switched to organic almonds and was fine.

I don't know anyone who loves chemicals and for some reason a lot of people overlook this and jump to food elimination which isn't always the answer. Researching a food and understanding if it's GMO, sprayed with chemicals, pasteurized etc. can be helpful in figuring out what's going on and help you eat more of the foods you love!

And if you're truly allergic to peanut butter or almonds, the good news is there's many ways to substitute foods these days. You just gotta ask!

Low Carb Peanut Chicken Lettuce Wraps

So...many of you have been asking for more low carb recipes and these Low Carb Peanut Chicken Lettuce Wraps fit the bill perfect! It's even quick and easy to do with minimal prep.

All you need are some chicken breasts and your two hands. Rub chili powder (this adds tons of flavor) into the chicken breasts then bake them in the oven.

While it's baking, whip up a peanut sauce with coconut aminos (or soy sauce), jalapeño, ginger and broth and serve the baked chicken in a lettuce wrap with veggies and sauce on top. Oh so good! You'll be pleasantly surprised how easy it is. A great meal prep recipe for lunch or dinner and filling too!

Helpful Tips

Baking the chicken breasts in the oven is so simple and cleanup is easy. I find the chicken evenly cooks best in the oven compared to a skillet. You could make shredded chicken in the Instant Pot too.

Short on time? Buy a rotisserie chicken! Hey...no shame in shortcuts. Just remove the skin and pair the chicken breast with the rest and BAM! You've got a meal that's healthy and easy.

For meal prepping this recipe, store the chicken, sauce and veggies separately so they don't get soggy. I love these new glass meal prep containers I just got for pre-portioning meals and keeping foods separated.
