Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps in 15 Minutes
These Thai Chicken Lettuce wraps are seriously the most delicious appetizers ever! If you feel like having a light lunch or dinner, I absolutely love these Thai Chicken Lettuce wraps. They are so full of flavor because of what you use to marinate the chicken thighs. You won’t regret making this!
I have so many memories of when my family and I moved to Florida and we were staying in the Palm Beach Gardens area while we were house hunting. My mom and I would go to the gardens mall so regularly and for lunch we loved going to P.F. Changs and ordering their Thai Chicken Lettuce wraps! Although this is not a copycat recipe, it is just as good if not better!
This recipe only takes about 15 minutes to make. Marinating the chicken for 24 hours will give it the most flavor although you will be good marinating for just 1 hour anyway. These babies are Thai inspired – you can add a little bit extra Sriracha for that spicy kick! This is actually super healthy and even though it is so tasty, you will actually feel good after eating.
You can pair this with my Drunken Noodles, Sweet and Sour Chicken, or Potstickers!
Add the sliced chicken in a Ziplock and add the sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sriracha, and vinegar. Shake and marinate in the refrigerator for an hour or up to 24 hours.
Heat a cast iron skillet on over medium high heat.
Remove the chicken strips and cook for 6 minutes total. With tongs, flip the chicken until no longer pink on the inside. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle the peanuts and cilantro on the chicken. Fill that chicken into each butter lettuce wrap. Garnish with the carrots, cucumber, and lime wedges.
