Similar to my viral Hot Honey Chicken Cutlets, these Hot Honey Chicken Lettuce Wraps use a few of the same simple ingredients, although these can be whipped up in less than half the amount of time!

These are the easiest lunch or dinner that can be made in under 15 minutes, requiring only 6 simple ingredients. Swap the chicken for ground beef or turkey, and top these up with any veggies you have kicking’ around your fridge: carrots, cucumbers, or cabbage are all family favs.

Storing & reheating

Have leftovers? Lucky you! Store the chicken in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply microwave for 30-45 seconds or add to a frying pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, just until heated throughout. Be sure to store the lettuce in a separate container.

Can I freeze this recipe? To freeze the chicken, allow the mixture to come to room temperature, add to a freezer safe ziplock bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, remove from the freezer and let thaw in the fridge overnight. Heat in a frying pan and cook until the chicken has been heated throughout.
