Peanut Chicken Lettuce Wraps are an easy and healthy low-carb meal that can be ready in about 30 minutes. These wraps are filled with seasoned chicken, crisp veggies and herbs, crunchy peanuts, and a sweet peanut sauce.

These wraps are light and healthy, fresh-tasting, and brimming with so many great textures. From the crisp lettuce to the crunchy nuts on top and the smooth peanut sauce finishing everything off, you will love this meal!

These wraps are an easy meal to make for a quick weeknight dinner. The chicken only requires a few spices and a grill or grill pan (or George Foreman-style electric grill), there are only a few veggies to chop, and the peanut sauce is as easy as adding everything to a blender and pressing the start button.

Ingredients
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 scallions, sliced, white and green parts separated
1 serrano pepper, seeded and minced (2 tsp.)
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
1 pound ground chicken breast
1 cup diced jicama
16 Bibb lettuce leaves
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup halved and thinly sliced English cucumber
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

1. Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, water, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
2. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add scallion whites, serrano, ginger, and garlic; cook until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add chicken; cook, breaking it up with a spoon or potato masher, until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Add the peanut sauce to the chicken mixture; cook until the sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in jicama and scallion greens.
4. To serve, make 8 stacks of 2 lettuce leaves each. Divide rice, the chicken mixture, cucumber, and cilantro among the lettuce cups. Serve with lime wedges.
