Game Day doesn’t mean everything has to be loaded with carbs and far (even though we do love them)!! These healthyish Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps make a great addition to the spread! Give those that may want something a little lighter a spicy and delicious alternative.
Not only are these lettuce wraps delicious, but they are beautiful! Love the presentation they make! Beautiful and bright, load a tray with the bibb lettuce, the sauces, the spicy ground chicken mixture or larb and some lime wedges!
Before you get started pick up some sambal oelek or Sriracha and some fish sauce. If you can’t find them at your local grocery store, here’s a link for both. I can find them now, but years ago I couldn’t and I would have to order them. They are really popular ingredients now, so stores like my local HEB carries both ingredients.

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 scallions, white and pale green parts only, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 lb ground chicken
- kosher salt
- Bibb lettuce leaves, lime wedges, soy sauce and tender herbs like cilantro for serving
Instructions
- Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, and 1 Tbsp. sambal oelek in a small bowl; set aside.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium. Add scallions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (a little color is okay), about 3 minutes. Add chicken and lightly season with salt. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon and tossing occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 5–7 minutes. Add reserved soy sauce mixture and cook, tossing occasionally, until liquid is almost completely reduced, about 2 minutes.
- Serve chicken mixture with lettuce, herbs, lime wedges, and more sambal oelek for making lettuce wraps.
