These ground chicken lettuce wraps are easy, delicious, and ready in only 15 minutes! They make the perfect low-carb light meal or appetizer.

I don't cook with ground chicken breast often, but I am always happy with the results when I do. It's inexpensive, cooks fast, and it's something slightly different so adds a little variety to my dinners. Heck, you could even make these with ground turkey if you prefer.

I had some sweet chili sauce in my fridge and decided to make these chicken lettuce cups using it as the primary flavor ingredient. Turns out it makes an amazing lettuce wrap sauce!

There's not much to these low-carb chicken lettuce wraps... just the sweet chili sauce, some garlic, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and a little lime juice. I like to toss some scallions on top for garnish.

I don't make low-carb wraps too often, but I do have another few lettuce wrap recipes too if you really like 'em.

These simple chicken lettuce wraps come together quickly and taste delicious.

The chicken is nice and tender, and the butter leaf lettuce if light and fresh and adds a little bit of crunch. Writing this post up is making me want to eat these again.

I admit ground chicken isn't the prettiest food, but it does the job and is fairly filling and low on calories.

1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cloves garlic minced
Red pepper flakes (optional) to taste
Pepper to taste
Scallions (green parts) chopped, to taste

Add the olive oil and ground chicken to a skillet and stir until coated. Cook over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes or until it's no longer pink. Use a cooking spoon to break it up into small pieces as it cooks.
Stir in the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional few minutes, stirring often, or until the chicken is cooked through, taking care not to overcook it.
Season with pepper if needed.
Evenly distribute the chicken among the lettuce cups. Garnish with the scallions and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Serves 2 as a light meal or 4+ as an appetizer.
