Mongolian Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe

Hi! Happy almost Friday!!! How’s your week going? We have another cold snap on the way for the weekend, and everyone’s looking forward to it. It took forever for the heat to break, and we’re ready for it to feel like fall, at last.

A crisp, sunny weekend on its way, so let’s celebrate that it’s Friday Eve with these Mongolian Chicken Lettuce Wraps!

I made those potstickers a few months ago because potstickers are one of my top favorite appetizers to order when we go out to eat. I love that now I can easily make them at home. That’s the deal with these Mongolian Chicken Lettuce Wraps too. They’re one of our favorite appetizers to order at restaurants, but now they’re a cinch to make at home. I actually put these lettuce wraps together in about 30 minutes total. I’m thrilled that we can easily make them anytime we want.

They were gone much faster than 30 minutes. These are fabulous as an appetizer, but we ate these for our dinner, and they were so satisfying. I used shredded chicken instead of ground chicken because that’s just my preference, and I threw in a few peppers, garlic, an onion, water chestnuts (a must!), sesame oil (also a must!! it adds so much to these!), and a few other ingredients, along with a bit of Mongolian sauce.
