Ingredients
These lettuce wraps are healthy and can be made totally gluten-free (just use gluten-free ingredients for the sauce). A really great recipe for meal prep! Make the chicken with the sauce on the weekend. Prep the wraps when you need it during the week for a quick and healthy lunch! A very low-carb recipe that is Whole30 + Paleo friendly.
Which ground chicken should I use? Best to purchase chicken that is 90-93% lean. The 99% lean may be too lean and too dry, but use it it’s what you have on hand. Alternatively, you could ground chicken breasts to into small pieces in a food processor. Can I use mushrooms in the ground chicken filling? Yes, I used Baby Bella mushrooms. You could use white mushrooms.
