I don’t know about you, but I love Asian Food. Since going Paleo AIP, we don’t really go to Asian restaurants anymore. I don’t want it all the time, but every now & then I just have to have it!
Now that school is starting back, I love to make quick & easy weeknight dinners. Since we love Asian food and don’t have it often, I decided to make an AIP Paleo version of Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps.
This is perfect for weeknight dinners when you are short on time & also great to pack for lunch. Just put the chicken mixture in a hot thermos such as this & serve the lettuce in a container to keep cold such as these.
Cut up 1 lb. of chicken breasts or thighs into cubes. You could also use ground chicken or turkey.
Finely chop up a can of water chestnuts, 1 can of organic mushrooms, 1 sm onion, garlic, ginger & a couple of carrots.
Put everything in a pan including the Coconut Aminos & cook until chicken is done. It’s hard to make Asian food without soy sauce, but since I found Coconut Amino’s, it has been a game-changer! If you want to read more about Coconut Amino’s health benefits, read it here.
Serve on Romaine Lettuce leaves & garnish with scallions if desired. See how simple that was & so tasty. And what’s best is it is 15 yr old approved!

This looks absolutely yummy!! Seriously! I love lettuce wraps, but for some reason mine never come out right, but I am hopeing to try your recipie and give it another go! Now I am hungry.
I use the Romaine Hearts & use like a Taco. I also make tacos this way
! I hope you enjoy!
Those look delicious, I bet they would be great with a peanut sauce. You are lucky school is about to start. We have approximately 30 days ?
Our public schools start this week, but my daughter doesn’t start til the end of the month. I’m thankful for that since I had ankle surgery this week & can’t be up on my foot. The peanut sauce sounds delish, except we can’t have peanuts. Maybe an alternative for us would be good.
I was gluten free for yrs. never did try lettuce wraps.
Oh! you should! We had BLT’s with avocado last night!
These look amazingly delicious! I’m going to have to make them!
