A fresh, flavorful, and low-carb alternative to traditional wraps, these Keto Chicken Lettuce Wraps are filled with savory chicken and crunchy vegetables, wrapped in crisp lettuce for a light and healthy meal.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground chicken (or cooked shredded chicken breast)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 bell pepper, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon coconut aminos (or soy sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 large lettuce leaves (e.g., iceberg or butter lettuce)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and browned.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  3. Add the Sauce: Stir in the coconut aminos (or soy sauce), grated ginger (if using), rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix well, allowing the flavors to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Remove the skillet from the heat. Spoon the chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf. Top with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds (if using).
  5. Serve: Serve immediately as a light lunch or dinner, and enjoy the fresh, savory flavors!
