BBQ Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe

American · Main course · 25 min total

These BBQ Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a quick, low-carb dinner with smoky-sweet chicken, crunchy veggies, and a tangy drizzle, all wrapped in crisp lettuce cups.

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped into small pieces
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 8 large butter lettuce leaves (or iceberg)
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup diced cucumber
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tbsp ranch dressing (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour over cooked chicken; stir to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
3. To assemble, place a lettuce leaf on a plate. Spoon about 1/4 cup of BBQ chicken into the center. Top with shredded carrots, diced cucumber, and cilantro. Drizzle with ranch dressing if desired.
4. Serve immediately, folding lettuce around filling like a taco.

Tips

• For extra crunch, add diced red bell pepper or sliced radishes.
• Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time.
• Store chicken mixture separately from lettuce; assemble just before serving.
• Can be served over rice if not low-carb.
