    Easy Asian Chicken Lettuce Wrap Recipe

    I sure hope you have some extra Blackened Chicken Breast with a touch of honey tucked away! If so, these Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps will come together in minutes. Minutes. (I'm just saying, my mantra is: it's always a good idea to make lots of chicken when you're cooking!) If so, this is a cook once, eat twice meal.

    And...if that's something that you'd like to do more of, then hop down to the bottom of this post and see all of the healthy, cook once, eat twice recipes my nutritionist and healthy-minded blogger friends are sharing today. But first...

    Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps Tips and Tricks

    Ingredients for Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

    Here are all the ingredients you need to make these tasty wraps:

    • A big bowl of thinly sliced cabbage (I used a bagged coleslaw mix of green and red cabbage and carrots)
    • Fresh cilantro and green onions are piled on top of the cabbage
    • Asian-inspired dressing is tossed with the cabbage
    • Cashews
    • Leafy green lettuce
    • And of course, cubed Blackened Chicken Breast with a touch of honey!

    Asian Chicken Salad with Cashews

    I'm not going to lie to you. Things can get messy.

    It helps to use nice, big leaves, like green leafy lettuce, that you can wrap around the filling.

    On the other hand, big romaine lettuce leaves make a nice sturdy shell.

    Whatever you do, ahemm, eat them in the proper company. 🙂

    Or, turn this recipe into a salad. No judgment here!

    If you choose to go the lettuce wrap route. You will not be disappointed.

    I truly did not miss the flour tortilla. Instead, I kinda felt like I was eating a salad with my hands...and...well, I liked it!

      I always cook extra chicken too so that I have it on hand for quick meals like this. And I can never resist a good lettuce wrap!

      I always feel like slightly rebellious when eating lettuce wraps, because something about it feels so wrong but tastes so right. I love how quickly this recipe comes together!

      These wraps look delicious! Love that cabbage slaw (one of my favorite vegetables of all time!) and you can never go wrong with a tangy Asian dressing.
