  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup bell peppers (red or yellow), diced
  • 8 large lettuce leaves (butter or romaine)
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup water chestnuts, chopped
  • Fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Dice chicken breasts into small pieces. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
  2. Add chopped bell peppers and green onions; cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced chicken along with soy sauce and sesame oil. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked through, around 6-8 minutes.
  4. Mix in the chopped water chestnuts for added crunch. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Spoon the savory filling into lettuce leaves and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Customize your wraps by swapping ground turkey or tofu for chicken.
  •  Spice it up with chili flakes or sriracha to suit your taste.
  • Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days; reheat gently on the stove.
