Don’t you hate when you get stuck in a recipe rut? Sometimes I just can’t think of anything creative and different for dinner. Often we end up in an endless rotation of tostadas, chicken tacos and these easy wraps. All of which are super delicious but sometimes you need to shake up your routine!

These Sesame Chicken Lettuce Wraps are the perfect way to mix up your dinner menu! The filling for these hearty wraps is made in one pan in under 30 minutes.

What ingredients do I need to make Sesame Chicken Lettuce Wraps?

• Chicken
• Bell Pepper
• Garlic
• Chicken Broth
• Soy Sauce
• Rice Vinegar
• Sesame Oil
• Brown Sugar Swerve (keto friendly sweetener)
• Peanut Butter
• Lettuce
• Garnish Options: Green onions, almond or peanuts, red pepper flakes 

How do you make Sesame Chicken Lettuce Wraps?

This recipe is made in two simple steps. The first is cooking chopped chicken, bell pepper and garlic in a skillet. When the chicken is cooked through and the peppers are tender you add a small amount of chicken broth to the pan and scrape the bottom to deglaze the pan. This ensures all of that good flavor is released from the pan and your chicken is moist. 

The second step is combining soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, sesame oil, swerve and peanut butter in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. I find it helpful to heat the sauce 10-20 seconds before whisking and the swerve and peanut butter dissolves much easier. 

Can I make these Sesame Chicken Lettuce Wraps keto?

Absolutely! This recipe is naturally low carb, the only significant source of carbs is the brown sugar. You can easily switch this out for a keto friendly sweetener such as golden monkfruit or brown sugar swerve.
