These flavorful cashew chicken lettuce wraps are BURSTING with flavor and they only take 30 minutes to make! Great with ground chicken too!
Ok, I have to admit, I haven’t always been big on lettuce wraps. They always left me hungry and wanting more. But then I tried lettuce wraps with nuts and loved them! I’m convinced the extra protein made them more filling. A month or so back I made these cashew chicken lettuce wraps and they were perfect for lunch. Light, relatively healthy and surprisingly filling! While they were definitely one of the more “involved” lunches I’ve made in a while, they were so worth it!
This recipe is delicious as-is, but totally customizable if you prefer subbing or ditching ingredients. I prefer the crunch of the celery, water chestnuts, cashews and carrots, the tenderness of the chicken, the earthiness of the mushrooms/oyster sauce, and the spice of the chili paste. Everything works together so well!
Again, it will still taste delicious if you omit one or a few things. I really wanted to add fried rice noodles (you know those white crispy strings that they serve a the Cheesecake Factory), but alas, I didn’t have the time to do that… maybe next time. 🤔
