If you’re slowly coming out of a heavy holiday food coma like we are, you’ll appreciate this Lettuce Wraps recipe! Healthy veggies and tender chicken in a tangy rich sauce wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves make this the perfect post-holiday lunch or dinner! We order lettuce wraps all the time when we go out to eat, but this homemade recipe tastes even better!

Fresh and Delicious
I love this recipe because it uses so many fresh vegetables but also has so much flavor! We use the marinade for the cucumbers all the time just to snack on tasty cucumber slices. And the peanut sauce recipe is also a staple for Asian noodles or as a dipping sauce for grilled chicken. But put all these flavors together into one wrap and you will begging for more and wish you had doubled the recipe for leftovers. At only 350 calories a serving, these are a great high protein (33 grams) and low calorie option for healthy eating or for those counting macro nutrients.
