The Cheesecake Factory Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a fan favorite, but the hidden sugars, refined oils, and overwhelming ingredient list? Not exactly Fab Four-approved. That’s why I created this copycat version that brings all the flavor, texture, and fun of the original — minus the blood sugar roller coaster.
My version is powered by real food, keeps things simple, and hits the sweet spot of protein, fat, fiber, and greens for optimal blood sugar balance. It’s one of those meals that feels indulgent but leaves your body feeling grounded, energized, and vibrant.
These wraps come together with marinated chicken (I use Brett’s Chicken Marinade), crisp butter lettuce leaves, shredded carrots for crunch, and quick-pickled cucumbers that bring the zing.
The real star, though, is the creamy, spicy, tangy peanut sauce – made with ingredients you probably already have on hand. It’s bold, flavorful, and easily adjustable to your taste and texture preferences (I always thin it out with a bit of cold, filtered water until it’s pourable perfection).
I love serving this meal family-style so everyone can build their own wraps – a total crowd winner for moms of kids who want to “do it myself.”
Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a great option for weeknight dinners, summer gatherings, or even meal prep – the components store beautifully and can be made ahead. And because this dish is centered around my Fab Four principles, you’re getting sustained energy, fewer cravings, and the satisfaction that only real, nourishing food can bring.
Whether you're already a lettuce wrap fan or just looking for a fresh, simple way to eat more greens, I know this will be a repeat recipe for you!
