Steps by step instructions

How to make keto chicken lettuce wraps?

Before you get started you will want to make this Low Carb Hoisin Sauce recipe.

STEP 1: Using a skillet over medium heat, add the oil and once warm add the ground chicken. Once browned add the onions and cook until softened.

Next, create a well in the center of the pan and add the sesame oil, garlic, ginger rice wine vinegar and soy sauce. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

STEP 2: add the low carb hoisin sauce, taste and add more if desired. Mix through until well combined.

STEP 3: This is optional but I added about 2 tablespoons of sriracha sauce. Mix through until well combined. It truly adds a lot of flavors and I don't find it too spicy for me. Leave it out if spicy is not your thing or if your kids don't like it spicy, serve them first and then add the heat.

• STEP 4: once the sauce has thickened add the water chestnuts and green onions. Mix and cook just until warmed through.

STEP 5: Remove the skillet from the heat and allow to slightly cool, serve on lettuce wraps. Garnish the keto chicken lettuce wraps with more sliced green onions and sriracha.

What type of lettuce should I use for the wraps?

I enjoy these low-carb chicken lettuce wraps on Boston lettuce because they are wide enough to carry a good amount. Although they are kind of flimsy and so it might be a two-handed meal.

Other lettuce you can use is sturdy romaine or iceberg.

Recipe tips

Here are some tips on how to make these keto lettuce wraps.

Top Tip: allow the chicken to slightly cool otherwise your lettuce wrap may become soggy and hard to handle if it's too hot.

Meal Prep: Save it for later in the week! Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When ready to consume, remove the amount you need for your meal, warm it up in the microwave for about a minute and serve it on fresh lettuce wraps. Also great to take with you for lunch (assuming you have someplace to warm up the chicken)
