Ingredients For the Chicken Filling:

  • 2 chicken breasts, chopped into small ¼” cubes

  • 4 large carrots, shredded

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

  • 1 can water chestnuts, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced

  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, washed and leaves separated

  • 2 cups white rice, precooked


SAUCE INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • 3 Tbsp honey

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 Tbsp ketchup

  • 1 tsp white vinegar

  • 1½ Tbsp sriracha

  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced

  • ¼ cup vegetable stock (or chicken stock) - Try homemade stock


Directions:

Prepare the Rice: Cook white rice according to package directions. Set aside.


Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Stir well until fully blended.


Tip: If you love extra sauce, go ahead and double this recipe! Set aside.


Cook the Mixture: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add coconut oil. Add chopped chicken and cook until lightly browned. Stir in onions, carrots, and water chestnuts. Cook until softened and onions become translucent. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir well. Let it cook until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.


Assemble the Wraps: Take a romaine lettuce leaf, add a spoonful of rice, then top with the chicken mixture. Serve & enjoy every fresh, flavorful bite!


Notes & Tips:

  • These are great for meal prep—just store the filling and assemble fresh when ready to eat.

  • Want it spicier? Add a little extra sriracha.
