Ingredients
- 3-4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 4 oz vermicelli rice noodles (these are just thin/angel hair rice noodles)
- 1 head of butter lettuce
- Toppings of choice: red bell pepper, red cabbage, shredded carrots, cucumbers, bean sprouts, crushed peanuts, etc.
- Fresh lime, for serving
- Homemade peanut sauce (we prefer to make a double batch of homemade peanut sauce for these lettuce wraps)
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the vermicelli rice noodles. Cook according to package directions. Once the noodles are cooked, drain the water and add a drizzle of sesame oil or olive oil to prevent them from sticking. (Sesame oil adds great flavor to the noodles, especially when paired with a little bit of salt.)
- Wash and dry the butter lettuce and chop up your toppings of choice.
- Make the homemade peanut sauce. Note that you will need to double the recipe for these lettuce wraps.
- Add the shredded rotisserie chicken to a bowl. Add ½ cup of the homemade peanut sauce and mix well.
- Assemble your lettuce wraps with the shredded chicken, a small amount of rice noodles, any toppings of choice, and a squeeze of fresh lime (don't skip this!).
Notes
- If you want a more filling version, you can use a large wrap or tortilla instead of the lettuce wrap.
- For a gluten-free option, make sure to use gluten-free soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce in the peanut sauce recipe.
