These Keto Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps are the perfect one pan, 30 minute meal under 4 net carbs per serving!
If you’ve made any of my recipes you know my affinity for easy one pan recipes. These Keto Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps have become a weekly staple in our house. They are so simple, super refreshing and just perfect for a low carb dinner.
One of the things I’ve heard over and over from people who follow a keto lifestyle is that at one point or another they get so sick of cheese and eggs. Believe me, I get it. Cheese and eggs are simply keto staples and it can be tricky to find a recipe that skips them. However, this is the perfect alternative!
What ingredients do I need to make Keto Asian 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 Keto Asian 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.
