Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Chicken lettuce wraps are always a hit in my family and can’t get enough of them every time I make it. Whether you are making them for an appetizer or a healthy light weekday dinner, these are always a big hit. Trust me it’s better than a take out.
If your kids are picky, try these lettuce wraps and they will definitely love them. Kids even love making these by themselves. I ate these chicken lettuce wraps at PF Changs and loved them. Came home and tried my hands on it and it turned out amazing.
This recipe is so easy that you can make them in under 30min. You can even use turkey/ beef instead of chicken. Vegetarians can use tofu instead of chicken. Crunchy lettuce with warm chicken and adding peanuts on top makes a perfect bite. You can avoid peanuts and use chopped almonds if you are allergic to peanuts.
