If you’re like me and love wraps, but are kinda trying to cut down on carbs, without going this crazy – you’ll be obsessed with these. They’re full of flavor, fresh and so much garlic and herbs and spices. Plus they don’t take a million years to make. Although it did take a little over 30 minutes to make all the separate ingredients. But if you multitask – you might be able to get it done pretty quickly. We’re using fresh, one-ingredient foods to make some true magic here.

I served the chicken as a lettuce wrap, but you can definitely also turn this into a bowl. Let’s face it, the lettuce didn’t bring a ton of excitement into my life. But it did what it was supposed to do – wrap these.

Chicken Lettuce Wrap Ingredients

Chicken. We’re using boneless, skinless chicken thighs for this, but you can also use chicken breast.

Herbs and Spices. Garlic, rosemary, mint or basil, crushed red pepper all make an appearance in this recipe.

Salad vegetables. You need a crunchy cucumber, juicy tomatoes, avocado and some olives to make this refreshing salad.

Lettuce. To wrap it all. I used Romaine lettuce, but any type would work.

Hummus. Make your own hummus using lemon, garlic, chickpeas and tahini or buy some that’s already made. You can also try this low-carb version with zucchini on my sister’s blog.

Garlic sauce. If you want a dairy-free version make a cashew sauce like this one, or if you don’t mind yogurt – mix 1/2 cup yogurt with minced garlic and some salt and you’re set.

How To Make Chicken Lettuce Wraps

  • cook the chicken with olive oil, herbs and spices in a non-stick pain
  • while that’s cooking, make the hummus, chop the vegetables for the salad, slice the zucchini in circles
  • make the cashew sauce or a simple sauce with plain yogurt, garlic and some salt
  • cook zucchini with olive oil until done on one side, then flip
  • once zucchini and chicken are done – time to arrange everything
  • wash lettuce leaves, pat them dry and fill with hummus, chicken, zucchini, salad and cashew sauce.
  • Enjoy immediately

Meal Prep Option

To meal prep these wraps I’d recommend doubling the recipe for the chicken, as I ate it all in 2 days (lunch, dinner & lunch again!).

You can make each part for these wraps ahead, except for the salad.

If you do want to prep the salad as well – chop the cucumber, add some olives and use whole cherry tomatoes and don’t add the dressing.

Low-Carb / Paleo Option

To make these wraps low carb, don’t add hummus – the recipe will be delicious without it as well. If you do have some extra time you can make a low-carb zucchini hummus, like this one.

To make this recipe paleo, change the hummus as suggested for the low-carb option and don’t add feta cheese to the salad.

  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
