Thai Basil Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Spicy, sweet, and filling, healthy Thai chicken with fresh basil and jalapeno is loaded into a hearty lettuce wrap to keep carbs low.

Thai food is new to me. I don’t have much experience with it, but what I have had, I love. Especially Thai Basil Chicken; a small bit of heat, some sweetness, and chicken. I mean, what isn’t to love, right?

Plus, I just love any excuse to make lettuce wraps. Keep this low carb as is, or toss in your favorite grain (white rice, brown rice, quinoa, etc) if you like. Sometimes, I’ll omit the lettuce and add the chicken mix to a bit of brown rice – but not today….because that would be cheating 😉
