Ingredients
Grilled Chicken Lettuce Wraps
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup soy sauce sub Tamari
- kosher salt & ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup green onions sliced
- 8 oz water chestnuts chopped & drained
- 1-2 heads butter lettuce
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup peanuts chopped
Soy Ginger Sauce:
- 1/2 cup soy sauce sub Tamari
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons ginger grated
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce more to taste
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
Instructions
- Prep Chicken: Place 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a glass container or reusable silicone bag. Pour 1/4 cup soy sauce over top and ensure chicken is fully coated. Let sit while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
- Soy Ginger Sauce: Place ingredients for the Soy Ginger Sauce in a mason jar; whisk or shake to combine. Set aside.
- Prep Ingredients: Prep remaining ingredients while the chicken marinates for a few minutes and have everything ready to go.
- Prep Grill + Season Chicken: Bring grill to medium high heat (about 400℉) and ensure grill grates are clean. Remove chicken from marinade and let excess liquid drip off. Place directly on the hot grill over direct heat and season with kosher salt and ground black pepper (season again once you flip the chicken).
- Grill Chicken: Grill chicken on direct heat (directly over flame) for 3-4 minutes per side (the bigger/thicker the thigh the longer you will need to cook it), flipping once. Remove from grill once the internal temperature has reached 165℉ (use a meat thermometer).
- Rest + Slice: Remove chicken from grill and let rest 5-10 minutes. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Build Lettuce Wraps: Take a piece of butter lettuce and top with a few spoonfuls of chicken. Top with fresh cilantro, green onions, water chestnuts and chopped peanuts.
Notes
- Gluten-Free: use Tamari instead of soy sauce to make this gluten-free.
- Chicken Breast: you can easily sub in chicken breasts here, just adjust the cook time.
- Butter Lettuce: feel free to switch up the lettuce (romaine would also work) here, if you prefer.
