Easy Low Carb Keto Lettuce Wraps With Chicken (Healthy PF Chang's Copycat Recipe)
Crunchy lettuce, warm filling, and a beautiful mixture of flavors make this a family favorite year-round and for any meal. You can have these chicken lettuce wraps on the table in no time, but don’t be surprised if the family sends you back in to make a second batch; they are that good!
INGREDIENTS
Chicken Lettuce Wraps
- 1 pound ground chicken, or substitute with ground turkey, ground beef, or ground pork
- 1 tablespoon vegetable or peanut oil
- ½ cup bell peppers, one color or mixed colors, diced (you could also substitute with your favorite diced vegetable)
- ½ cup yellow onion, minced
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pinch of crushed red peppers
- 8-10 mushrooms, cremini or similar, diced
- 8 oz whole water chestnuts, drained and diced (found in Asian/Chinese grocery stores, or you can substitute them with peanuts or walnuts. Chestnuts are softer than regular nuts but do give that crunchiness needed in a wrap)
- 1 heaping teaspoon ginger, grated (gives a spicy kick and a little zing, but you can leave it out or reduce the amount)
- 1 head butter lettuce, baby Romaine lettuce, or similar (but I don’t recommend Iceberg lettuce which breaks easily)
Sauce
- 5 tablespoons low sodium & GF soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil, toasted
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons tahini, or hoisin, texture same but flavor different, and hoisin more popular in other recipes
- 1 ½ teaspoons lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Garnish with ground pepper, green onions, sesame seeds, peanuts
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a small bowl mix the sauce ingredients. Set aside.
- Heat some cooking oil in a non-stick medium or large skillet over medium heat. Saute bell peppers, and mushrooms, (over medium-high heat) until softened slightly, set aside (about 2-3 minutes).
- In the same skillet add more oil and cook ground chicken until browned, halfway through cooking add the onions, garlic, and ginger.
- Return the mushrooms and peppers to the skillet, add water chestnuts, stir in the sauce, and simmer for a minute or 2.
- Prepare the lettuce and add the filling (about 2 heaping tablespoons per wrap). Add garnishes of your choice and serve immediately.
