Chicken Parmesan Lettuce Wraps offer a fresh, low-carb take on the classic Italian favorite. Juicy chicken, savory marinara sauce, and melted cheese are wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves, creating a light yet satisfying meal perfect for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

  1. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and sliced or shredded
    1 cup marinara sauce
    1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    8 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine, butter lettuce, or iceberg)
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
    Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and Italian seasoning, sauté for 1 minute.

  1. Add cooked chicken to the skillet and warm through. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Pour marinara sauce over the chicken and stir to coat.
  3. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly onto each lettuce leaf.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
  5. Cover the skillet briefly or place under a broiler to melt the cheese (if broiling, transfer chicken to an oven-safe dish).
  6. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
  7. Fold lettuce leaves around the filling and serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Use ground chicken or turkey for a different texture.
  2. Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the filling.
  3. Top with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
  4. Substitute mozzarella with vegan cheese for a dairy-free option.
  5. Serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
