Paleo Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps
These Paleo Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps go over well in our house. I make them once every few months (more often in the summer) for a quick and healthy dinner.
Another Paleo diet hit in our house was made tonight and before the rest of the chicken was devoured I quickly snapped a photo to share.
I’ll never forget the first time I made these Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps. My husband looked at it confused and gave me the what the heck are you making me eat look. I’m happy to report back that we’ve made this many times throughout the years and I haven’t had a complaint yet (except for that time I added too much cayenne).

Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I find this recipe super filling as is, but if you want more “hearty” ingredients and you’re not paleo add some crispy Chinese noodles. You can also add bean sprouts, peanuts, mushrooms, etc. I have a very picky household and all of those ingredients wouldn’t fly around here. I celebrate the fact I can get carrots and broccoli into their bellies, I call that a win.

delicious wraps
LOVE the sound of that sauce with all those fresh veggies and chicken!
These look so good! I’ve heard awesome things about thai lettuce wraps; I’m going to have to just bike the bullet one of these days and make them already!
Delish! I love the idea of lettuce instead of a bready wrap
That sounds healthy and looks amazing. Great pictures, I’m taking notes.
