Substitutions

  • Ground chicken: You can swap this with ground turkey, ground pork, or even a plant-based ground meat for a vegetarian twist.
  • Hoisin sauce: If you’re avoiding sugar, use a sugar-free hoisin sauce or make your own. Alternatively, coconut aminos can stand in for a lighter option.
  • Butter lettuce: If you can’t find butter lettuce, romaine lettuce works well as a crisp and sturdy alternative.

Equipment

Cooking Pan

How to Store and Reheat

Store leftovers: Transfer the leftover chicken mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Reheat: To reheat, simply warm the mixture in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until heated through. You can also use a microwave to reheat the ground chicken.

Top Tips for Success

Meal Prep: These wraps make a fantastic meal prep option. You can prepare the chicken mixture in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure to store the chicken and lettuce separately.

Adjust the spice level: Add more sriracha or chili flakes for a spicy kick, or skip it entirely for a milder flavor.

If you’re serving a crowd, double or triple the recipe and keep the lettuce cups separate from the chicken mixture to avoid soggy wraps.

For extra crunch, top your wraps with some chopped peanuts or cashews.

FAQ

  1. Can I use ground turkey instead of chicken?
    Absolutely! Ground turkey is a great lean alternative to ground chicken and works perfectly in this recipe.
  2. How can I make this recipe more keto-friendly? You can further reduce carbs by omitting any added sugars from hoisin sauce and opting for sugar-free hoisin sauce or coconut aminos.
  3. Can I make these ahead of time? Yes! The chicken mixture can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just assemble the wraps when you’re ready to serve.
  4. What can I use if I don’t have water chestnuts? If you don’t have water chestnuts, try using chopped bell peppers or mushrooms for a similar crunchy texture.
  5. How do I store the lettuce wraps? While the lettuce cups will soften if stored, you can store the chicken mixture separately in the fridge. Assemble the wraps fresh when you’re ready to eat.
