AIP Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe
AIP Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe
"This AIP chicken lettuce wraps recipe is a light, refreshing meal that’s perfect for a hot summer day. It’s so easy to whip up you can make it after work! Lettuce wraps have gained in popularity in the U.S. in recent times thanks to the popularity of low-carb diets. In other parts of the world, however, lettuce wraps are old news. Lettuce wraps are common throughout Asia and Thailand. In Thai cuisine, the meat in lettuce wraps is often flavored with fish sauce and/or tamarind paste. In this recipe, I use coconut aminos to replicate the traditional flavor of chicken wraps without cheating your autoimmune diet. Ginger also adds to the taste of Thailand in these wraps."
