Korean Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Recipe Description

These Korean Chicken Lettuce Wraps are fast and easy to prepare and make for a delicious gluten-free dinner. Stuffed with spicy chicken strips, cucumbers, green onions, and cilantro, these stunning leafy wraps, drizzled with sweet chili sauce, offer a fresh spin on classic Korean chicken wraps.

Start with the chicken. If the chicken breasts are too thick, slice them in half lengthwise and then into thin strips. Next, prepare the marinade and marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour. Finally, cook the chicken and assemble the wraps. Use any type of lettuce for these low-carb chicken wraps – think iceberg lettuce, butter lettuce, Romaine hearts, or pre-packaged lettuce wraps. Store the leftover chicken and toppings in separate airtight containers for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Enjoy! 

To make the Korean Chicken Lettuce Wraps, you will need the following ingredients:
