Many of you have been asking for a chicken lettuce wrap recipe and I could not agree more! This blog has been in much need of some Healthy Chicken Lettuce Wraps.

It’s one of those recipes that I keep thinking about making, then when it comes to making and shooting it, it’s a whole other story.

Truthfully, I kept making them this past month and they would disappearing before I could get the camera out. The guy loves them! And, let’s just say he’s a very picky eater.

Not a healthy eater by nature, but not a super unhealthy eater either. He’s a hard one to please! However, these healthy chicken lettuce wraps were a hit!

They’re also a hit with the women in coaching program. Meal planning doesn’t have to be complicated, time consuming or require a full-time kitchen commitment. It CAN be easy, delicious and healthy.

Meal Prep Healthy Chicken Lettuce Wraps

We sometimes grab PF Chang’s or Pei Wei takeout on Friday nights, and we always get lettuce wraps. In fact, it’s usually my entree.

The only problem is I know there’s gluten snuck in them from the sauces they use, so I wanted to have my own go-to gluten free recipe for when we wanted at-home takeout. This one does the job and it’s easy to make too!

I like to add bulk (aka fiber and veggies) to our meals which is why I added carrots to this recipe. I don’t think the PF Chang’s version has carrots, but I the Pei Wei one does.

Either way, you can’t taste the carrots in the recipe. They get super soft when cooked with the sauces. It also makes them much more filling. Exactly why I love adding bulk!

      Ours keep 3-5 days in the refrigerator. I haven’t tried freezing them. I think they may get really soggy that way.

    Yummy these look so tasty! I am unable to find coconut aminos in my area. Would this be okay to leave out or is there another alternative I could use?
    Thanks!

      I would recommend using soy sauce instead. You don’t want to leave it out otherwise the lettuce wraps will have no flavor. 🙂
