Better Than Takeout Chicken Lettuce Wraps deliver restaurant quality flavor, but with real, quality ingredients.
As a girl who grew up loving P.F. Chang’s, I was determined to make my own healthified dupe. Something just as craveable, only way more blood sugar-friendly and easily thrown together under 30 minutes – mom-friendly, too!
Enter, Better Than Takeout Chicken Lettuce Wraps. They’re saucy, crunchy, slightly sweet, and totally satisfying – without hidden sugars, inflammatory seed oils, or post-meal crashes.
As a functional nutritionist, I’m all about food that tastes amazing but still supports your biology. Let’s break this recipe down according to my Fab Four Formula for blood sugar balance:
- Protein – Ground chicken calms hunger hormones and supports muscle synthesis
- Fat – Avocado oil (or Zero Acre Oil - use code KELLY) fuels your brain, slows digestion, and sustains satiety
- Fiber – Garlic, carrots, and water chestnuts feed your “good” gut bugs and stabilize blood sugar
- Greens – Green onions, butter lettuce, and romaine deliver micronutrients and volume
Our refined sugar-free sauce – a combination of garlic, ginger, coconut aminos, honey, and tamari – gives that sweet, smoky, sticky umami flavor we crave in an Asian dish.
The best part? This meal is super customizable. Serve it as-is, bulk it up with cauliflower rice, or turn it into a meal-prep bowl with leftovers!
