STORING
To preserve the deliciousness of these tasty lettuce wraps for later enjoyment, proper storage is key.

When ready to enjoy again, simply reheat the chicken filling gently on the stove or in the microwave until warmed through, and assemble fresh lettuce wraps for a quick and satisfying meal. Stored properly in the refrigerator, these wraps can last for up to 3 to 4 days, allowing you to indulge in their irresistible flavors whenever the craving strikes.

These are delicious. I used 1/2 white soy sauce and 1/2 regular. Not as salty. Added a little extra rice vinegar, Ground turkey and served on romaine since that is all we had. Will definitely make these again.
Definetey a keeper and so easy to make. added sliced snap peas and chinese noodles for crunch. used romaine lettuce which was what we had on hand. was a little messy to eat but tasted great. will make again for sure.

this turned out wonderful!!!
Would oyster sauce work as a suB for the hoIsen?
You can, BUT it won’t taste as sweet. And may give it a little bit different flavor.
OMG…these are WONDERFUL! I have made these three times already.
Great recipe, Very Easy, will make again!
Absolutely delicious. We make this often in our home.
Delicious and easy!
Delicious and easy! I suggest one make the recipe exactly as written and taste. I found it a bit sweet, so I added a bit more soy and rice wine vinegar and Sriracha. The water chestnuts are a must for the crunch factor. I also added chopped cilantro before serving and it added another layer of flavor.
So so sooooo good. My first time making these and They were phenomenal. Will dEfinitely put this in my recipe book
Ive made this several times and Every time it comes out perfect! Thank you!!!
One of my favorite go-to recipes! I often double the recipe for leftovers and use ground turkey instead of chicken. delicious!
Absolutely superb, I added cashews and extra Sriracha on top to serve! Yum!!!
I made this for dinner tonight it was so good. I doubled the recipe and only used 1/2 tsp of Sirracha because we don’t Like our food spicy and it gave it just enough for flavor. I added some shredded carrots and also a lil more Hoisen sauce, It was very flavorful tomorrow we will maybe we will eat it over rice!
These were absolutely delicious. So many different tweaks you can make. I followed recipe but added grated carrots and Shiitake mushrooms. I used a sweet Chile sauce that added a little subtle kick. I also added a little sesame oil in addition to what recipe calls for. I prefer butter lettuce although you may need to double up in leaves so it doesn’t fall apart.

Delish!
I doubled the recipe and added 1 tbsp of sesame oil and sesame seeds to finish. Easy to make and crowd pleaser!
I always double this recipe to make sure there Are leftovers. At home we use lettuce wraps but to carry to work, chopped lettuce is better. I’ve eaten the salad cold (on my kayaking days) and i’ve carried the lettuce separate so i can heat the chicken in the microwave at work. Still as good or better than the first night i make it. Always toss in mushrooms and celery too.
have been using this recipe for years!!! love these lettuce wraps!
I bet I’ve made this about a dozen more times now. It’s always a hit!
Soooo good! I make this often and seems to be requested by fam and friends a lot!
Thank you so much
