Keto Chicken Lettuce Wraps-Two Ways
Every time I make lettuce wraps I remind myself how incredibly delicious they are!
The filling is full of vegetables, protein and a perfect sauce that will leave everyone at the table feeling satisfied.
The best part, you can load your plate with seconds, and even thirds, because they’re really healthy and guilt free.
Looking For Something Healthy?
We all know the term “quick and easy”. Well, I give you “quick and healthy!”.
I know a lot of us do our best to eat healthy keto when we can, and while the thought of preparation can be daunting and time consuming, these fast and simple feel good recipes do exist! Super tasty and low carb here we come!
A lot of folks are facing down weeks and weeks (let’s be honest, it’s months) of 90+ degree temperatures, not around here, of course. We’re lucky if we get 6 weeks of warmth!
But as someone looking to create helpful content, I’m naturally craving all the quick, easy dinners that don’t take much cooking and won’t heat up the house even more!
Some people don’t enjoy spice of any kind, so I decided to make wraps two ways. One is classic deli-style chicken salad. Old school and fresh. The second, kicks it up a notch with zesty Thai flavors to satisfy your take out craving fast!
Why you’ll love this recipe:
Bold Flavors – I love Thai-inspired recipes because they include fresh ingredients and bold flavors!
Healthy – Packed with fresh vegetables, protein, and a homemade sweet sauce that’s lower in sodium than store-bought. These Thai Lettuce Wraps will leave you satisfied and energized.
30-Minute Meal – I love recipes that are still made from scratch that I can have on the table quick with no cooking.
MY CREAMY PEANUT SAUCE. I could eat this peanut sauce on almost anything. It’s the perfect blend of flavors–it’s got umami, salty, sweet, and savory going on and makes the chicken and veggies taste even more incredible. I could eat this on anything!
