Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I have been wanting to share this for a while now because it's one of my favorite meal! It is so easy, healthy and flavorful It's loaded with fresh veggies and packs tons of flavor. I love to prep extra veggies in advance so I can make salads and wrap throughout the week with super easy assembly. I also grill the chicken in batches so I have it on demand when I need a quick meal. If you are looking for a meatless option, sub the chicken for tofu (use the same seasoning) or add extra avo!
The toppings are so simple! I love using shredded carrots, red cabbage, cilantro, cucumbers, avocado and coconut peanut sauce.
I use this same recipe and make in into a salad when I am in a hurry! I am all for anything that can be eaten one handed. I love seeing my recipes in your kitchen, so if you try it out tag me @maddiecastellano ! Happy cookin'!
Ingredients:
1 head of lettuce
2 cups of red cabbage (chopped)
2 cups of shredded carrots
1 cucumber (diced)
1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
1 avocado (sliced)
pickled red onion
coconut peanut sauce from Whole Foods or this homemade one is great too
Chicken:
2 chicken breast (cubed)
1/2 small onion (diced)
1 Tbs coconut aminos ( or soy sauce)
1 tsp garlic (minced)
1 tsp ginger powder
salt and pepper
Directions for crepe:
In a sauté pan drizzle 1 tsp oil. Turn the heat to low and sauté garlic and onions together for 2-3 minutes. Add the diced chicken, coconut aminos, ginger, salt and pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes until thoroughly cooked. We also grill our chicken sometimes and marinade it with the peanut sauce. Both options are delicious!
Prepare the toppings. Prep a little extra to use as throughout the week. Dice red cabbage, carrots, cilantro, cucumbers, red onion and avocado.
Assemble the lettuce wraps and drizzle the coconut peanut sauce on top. Enjoy!
