    Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Savoury, easy and delicious. A great appetizer or light lunch idea when you are craving something healthy!

    This is one of my favourite Asian appetizers. The lettuce possesses a cool crisp crunch while the filling is sweet and soft.  With these contrasting flavours and textures, it's definitely an enjoyable dish. 

    My Asian chicken lettuce wraps recipe only takes under 30 minutes to make and it's very simple. You can use any lettuce of your choice! I just used the lettuce from my garden but iceberg or boston lettuce are great choices for this dish.

    For this recipe

    You will need the following ingredients for my asian chicken and lettuce wraps:

    • 1 lb of skinless boneless chicken thigh small diced
    • One head of iceberg lettuce leaves soaked in ice cold water (note: the lettuce in the picture is romaine lettuce i had in my garden)
    • 1 red pepper finely diced
    • 2 stalks of celery finely diced
    • 3 garlic cloves finely chopped
    • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce (low sodium)
    • ¼ cup of hoisin sauce
    • 3 scallions finely chopped
    • 1 tbsp avocado oil

    How to make Chicken Lettuce Wraps

    1. Prepare your ingredients as listed above. For your lettuce, peel your leaves and soak them in ice cold water to get them extra crispy. Then strain the water completely when ready to fill the lettuce wraps.
    2. In a medium size bowl, mix your diced chicken with your finely chopped garlic and soy sauce. In a deep pan set on medium high heat, add some avocado oil and fry the chicken for 5 minutes.
    3. Add in your finely diced red peppers, celery, and scallions and stir. Cook for 3 minutes on medium heat.
    4. Then add in your hoisin sauce and cook for another 3 minutes until your sauce is thick.
    5. Have your strained lettuce leaves on a separate plate with your hot filling on another. Then when ready to serve, allow yourself or your guests to fill the wraps.
      Enjoy!
