Chicken Stir Fry Lettuce Wraps {made with coconut aminos}

Feb 16, 2015 · 16 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

These chicken stir fry lettuce wraps are made with coconut aminos are such a fun dinner, they remind me of a menu item that one could order at a restaurant.

Low on a shelf of the natural grocery store I was at I saw a bottle of coconut aminos. ‘Hmmm…looks interesting and says ‘Soy-Free Seasoning Sauce’ on the bottles, let me check this out’ is what I thought to myself. Because I can’t have soy sauce on whole30 (overview here and here), and I needed something other than my salt/pepper/garlic salt seasoning combo I had been using.

So I picked up the bottle and read all the ingredients ‘organic coconut sap aged with blended sun-dried mineral-rich sea salt’ …bingo, I can have those things, so I decided to make chicken stir fry lettuce wraps for dinner and use the coconut aminos for seasoning.

I was so happy with the end result, I’ve made them a few more times since!

And you know how sometimes when things are ‘supposed’ to taste like something else and they just fall short? Well this isn’t one such product. Cocout aminos truly do taste like soy sauce. If you don’t live near a natural grocery store, you can buy coconut aminos here from amazon.

Another thing I love about these chicken stir fry lettuce wraps? They’re super easy to make. All you do is cook the meat and vegetables with coconut aminos, then spoon into lettuce leaves which you’ll use as the wraps.

Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • dash of salt & pepper
  • 1 10 oz bag frozen stir fry vegetables mine had cabbage, broccoli, carrots and onions in it
  • 1 8 oz can sliced water chestnuts drained
  • 2 green onions finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos divided
  • 1 head of lettuce that will act as the wraps a head of lettuce or butter lettuce works

Instructions

  • Over high heat, heat oil in a large frying pan and then add the ground chicken. Break it up and pour in about 1/8 cup of the coconut aminos. Cook it and break up the meat as it cooks. Add in a dash of salt and pepper.
  • As soon as about half the chicken is cooked through, add in the frozen vegetables and water chestnuts. Add in another pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are warm, then carefully drain liquid in the pan. Add the green onion slices.
  • Return pan to heat, add remaining coconut aminos and cook for a few minutes until the meat and vegetables are cooked through.
  • To serve break off lettuce pieces of the lettuce and scoop a spoonful of meat and vegetables into it and enjoy!

Disclaimer: if you purchase coconut aminos through this affiliate link, at no cost to you, I will earn a few pennies (still haven’t made enough to actually buy a bottle of coconut aminos – yet, but a girl can dream, can’t she? lol) As always, thank you for supporting the brands and products I love that make the Sweetphi blog possible.

    I have been using this product for a while now, they also have a teriyaki one that I use on my grilled vegetables and chicken, it is amazing!!
    It is also soy, gluten etc free
    As for this recipe, thank you, I have not been able to have wraps for a while as they have too many things in them I can’t eat, but this I never thought of, so thank you for a delicious wrap!
    I know what I am having for my lunch today 🙂

      They also have a teriyaki sauce? No way, I totally need to go check that out stat. I loved doing whole30 but I would have liked a little more variety, and teriyaki sauce would have been ideal. Since I’m going to be doing whole30 again soon, I am going to go on the hunt for this. Thank you for letting me know 🙂

        Yeah I just bought a bottle of the teriyaki and it is soooo damn good! Yummy 🙂
        I hope you find it and enjoy it,have a great day!
        Ohh by the way, what is the whole30? thanks

          I just purchased a bottle on amazon! Thank you so much for the suggestion! Whole30 is a diet I did, it’s basically no added sugar, no gluten, no soy, no legumes, no alcohol, no grains for 30 days 🙂

    Don’t say waffle ;). Did you make those Larabars yet?
    The secret to easy mayo is an immersion blender. And light olive oil. Then I just use it for the base of dressings and different things.

      Haha, ok I won’t say it! I make energy bites that were sooooo incredible! I didn’t have any clean pans to make larabars (everything was dirty from doing #alltheroasting) but I am going to try tomorrow! And thank you for those tips on the mayo, I’ll definitely need to try it.

      They truly are! At first I was like waffling back and forth if they would be satisfying enough to be a meal, but they totally are, they’re great as a dinner or an appetizer 🙂
