Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps (One Pot)

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps are super easy to make and taste better than the popular PF Chang’s version. This healthy recipe packs all the flavor!

Every time we go out for Asian or Thai, I always check to see if they have some sort of lettuce wrap. They are so delicious, and for the most part healthy as long as they don’t add too much oil (which is common at restaurants). I love making these Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps at home because I control how much of everything is used in the recipe and only ONE skillet. With only 264 calories and 22 grams of protein per serving (scroll down for nutritional info), this is a dish you can feel good about eating! These Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps use only one pot or skillet to cook the filling, then you just need a small bowl to mix the sauce. If you wanted to coat the entire dish with the sauce, you could even add it to the skillet and omit the extra bowl. I like having the option to drizzle more sauce over the top of the Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps.

These Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps only take about 30 minutes from start to finish, and the majority of that hands on time is going to be prepping your vegetables. A great option would be to prep everything over the weekend, and then all you have to do is throw it into the skillet when you are ready to eat it during the week! This is a great recipe for your weekly meal plan because it’s easy, delicious, and takes little time to make.

I like using my high sided skillet to make the Asian Chicken Lettuce Wrap. I also highly recommend a great whisk for the sauce!

Recipe Notes

Don't like meat? Double the mushrooms and call it a day!

You can add all the sauce to the skillet if you don't want to drizzle it over the top. If you have picky eaters you may want to leave it all on the side!
