Thai Peanut Lettuce Wraps

Thai Peanut Lettuce Wraps are flavorful, crunchy, and so much fun. And you can prep them ahead for lunches during the week.

Serve with some fun avocado egg rolls and egg drop soup for a great lunch.

Thai Peanut Lettuce Wraps

This was a delightful dinner, and surprisingly, one my children ate willingly. I think they are getting better at eating the healthy stuff, but they really did eat this, and enjoy it! Shocker for me, with peppers, tons of vegetables, and served in lettuce leaves, I expected resistance, but I did not get any.

They said it smelled really good, and tasted even better. Lucky me. My disclaimer is that this is not really authentic Thai, this is more me experimenting with flavors and trying to come up with something to mix things up as I have been serving my kids a lot of zucchini, yellow squash, and red peppers lately (I had a TON of them, thank you garden). But since it is a peanut sauce, I figure Thai is as close as it gets. Yum!

The sauce has that nice peanut flavor, and is so good. I mix it up and cook the chicken in half, and use the other half as a sauce to pour over the lettuce wraps before serving. Yum!
