Tastiest Southwest Chicken Lettuce Wraps. These wraps are low-carb, healthy, savoury, and delicious lettuce wraps and are made with chicken, plenty of seasoning, and roasted peanuts for added crunch.
Lettuce wraps are a great way to serve food when following a gluten-free or calorie-restricted diet because you don’t need tortillas, bread or rice.
protein-packed lettuce wraps,
This high protein, low-carb meal is fast and super easy to prepare because all you need is fifteen minutes from start to finish. Healthy, delicious and quick to make, how does that sound? Who said fast food couldn’t be healthy and tasty at the same time?
healthy, low-carb and easy lettuce wraps,
What I love about these chicken lettuce wraps is the added peanuts because they add crunch and texture and make this meal satisfying.
They are like tacos, except you use leaves with delicious chicken filling. The difference is that lettuce wraps are much healthier, lower in carbs and gluten-free.
What can I replace the peanuts with?
Peanut is one of the eight major allergens. And an allergy to peanuts is among the most common food allergies found in children in the United States. You can substitute roughly chopped cashews for the peanuts in the chicken filling in this recipe.
Next time you crave take-out food, try this low-carb southwest chicken recipe. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
