There’s something incredibly satisfying about Asian-inspired flavors in a fresh, handheld meal. Lettuce wraps are one of our favorite go-to recipes because they’re light, crunchy, and packed with flavor without the carbs.
Traditional teriyaki sauce is loaded with sugar, but we make it keto-friendly by using coconut aminos, sesame oil, and a touch of monk fruit sweetener to create that rich, sweet-savory balance we love. Combined with juicy ground chicken and crisp butter lettuce, these wraps are both refreshing and indulgent at the same time.
Perfect for a quick lunch, an easy dinner, or meal prep, these Keto Teriyaki Chicken Lettuce Wraps check all the boxes for flavor, simplicity, and nutrition!
