15 Minute Sweet Chili Chicken Lettuce Wraps

These ground chicken lettuce wraps are easy, delicious, and ready in only 15 minutes! They make the perfect low-carb light meal or appetizer.

I don’t cook with ground chicken breast often, but I am always happy with the results when I do. It’s inexpensive, cooks fast, and it’s something slightly different so adds a little variety to my dinners. Heck, you could even make these with ground turkey if you prefer.

I had some sweet chili sauce in my fridge and decided to make these chicken lettuce cups using it as the primary flavor ingredient. Turns out it makes an amazing lettuce wrap sauce!

There’s not much to these low-carb chicken lettuce wraps… just the sweet chili sauce, some garlic, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and a little lime juice. I like to toss some scallions on top for garnish.

I don’t make low-carb wraps too often, but I do have another few lettuce wrap recipes too if you really like ’em.

These simple chicken lettuce wraps come together quickly and taste delicious.

The chicken is nice and tender, and the butter leaf lettuce if light and fresh and adds a little bit of crunch. Writing this post up is making me want to eat these again.

I admit ground chicken isn’t the prettiest food, but it does the job and is fairly filling and low on calories.
