Speedy note before we dive into these omg-memorable-go-to-i’ve-ever-had chicken lettuce wraps: I’ve teamed up with some of my go-to fellow food bloggers to bring you a genuinely cool little giveaway. Well, not genuinely little. We’re giving away a $700(!!!) gift card to amazon. Kind of wish that I could win it for myself. Details on the giveaway at the end of the post.

On a less exciting note: I seem to have caught some kind of terrible head cold and I simply can’t get rid of it. I thought that I was better but then it came back and I feel like someone placed a 10 pound weight on my temple. I’m kind of being a giant baby about it today thus why I couldn’t refrain from telling you about it. I kind of simply want to sleep for 3 days straight which is particularly inconvenient seeing as this is the busiest time of year for me.

But, on to a much happier note…….

THESE CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS!! Y’all. These wraps. I’m obsessed. They’re straightforward and they’re SO straightforward and yet somehow they’re simultaneously SO flavor-packed! Am I too excited about lettuce wraps right now?? I’ll take it down only a notch.

Let’s break these Healthy Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps down. Starting with the lettuce.

It was a friend of my brother who first suggested that “living lettuce” was the dependable kind of lettuce for lettuce wraps and since trying it, I ENTIRELY agree. It’s similar to bibb lettuce and it bends easily without breaking. So, if you can get your hands on a head of this lettuce, I highly recommend it.

The veggies. Bell pepper, carrot, and cucumber. I debated sautéing them but ended up only thinly slicing them and leaving them raw. I’m quite happy with this decision!

The chicken. It’s a Thai inspired chicken that’s dipped and baked in a especially tasty sauce! Half of the sauce is then saved to be poured over the wraps for extra (extra!) flavor and juiciness. Most chicken wrap recipes that I see have ground or shredded chicken in them. I’m a big fan of simple chicken breast cut into strips. It makes for unfussy on-the-go lunches if you want to pack it all up and take it to work with you. AND, you’re less likely to have runaway bits of chicken falling out of the side of your wrap. Nobody likes that.
