I don’t know about you but I absolutely LOVE a good low carb meal! These Low Carb Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps are one of our family’s new favourite dinners and I’m thrilled to be sharing them with you today. They’re perfectly savoury, super filling, and oh so tasty!
Of course, my husband and kids need their healthy carbs (my husband is very fit and active and my kids are little growing humans!) and the best part about this meal for me is that I can enjoy the delicious Thai-style chicken filling in a lettuce wrap and the rest of the family can enjoy it over rice! It’s perfect for meal prep (you can make the chicken filling up to 3 days ahead!) and it’s a super quick and easy weeknight meal the whole family loves!
How to Make Delicious Low Carb Meals
Eating low carb doesn’t have to be boring! Try my best low carb meal tips!
- Go for colour! Choose a variety of veggies like carrots, bell peppers, red onions, broccoli – they sky is the limit!
- Go for texture! Add some chopped nuts, use crunchy green lettuce, raw onions, and juicy, tender meat.
- Go for flavour! Don’t skimp on the seasonings! Add some soy sauce, peanut butter, vinegars, oils, spices, garlic, and more!
- Go for savoury, not sweet! Choose savoury recipes and avoid sweeteners that contain sugar, and if your favourite recipes call for sugar, honey or maple syrup use a substitute like stevia.

Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 large onion diced
- 1 cup carrots cut julienne, or shredded
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute (I use Truvia brown sugar, or stevia)
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- a dash of sriracha
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons water
- 12 leaves green leaf lettuce (or use butter lettuce)
- sesame seeds and sliced green onions for serving
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the garlic, onion and carrots and saute just until the onion and carrots begin to soften.
- Add the ground chicken and brown it until it's cooked through and no longer pink.
- Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar substitute (or stevia), peanut butter, and sriracha and stir well to combine (a sauce will form as you stir).
- Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl with a whisk or a fork until the cornstarch has dissolved.
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and stir well as the sauce thickens.
- Remove the pan from the heat and serve the chicken mixture in its sauce in lettuce wraps (or over rice for a high-carb meal) with some chopped peanuts and sliced green onions.

Such amazing flavors to pair with the lettuce wraps! I also love how they can be adapted for the whole family with the lettuce for me when I want something lighter and rice for the kids. Yum!

Made this for dinner last night. Loved it! Everybody was happy with it. I served it for my husband over rice and I ate it as a lettuce wrap. I’m pretty much followed the recipe as written. I did add some red pepper flakes and some chopped cilantro as a garnish. I have a photo of it, but I don’t see a way to share it. I did post it on my Facebook page and got quite a bit of response to it.
