Copycat Thai Lettuce Wraps
One of my favorite things to order when I’m at The Cheesecake Factory is their Thai Lettuce Wraps recipe. They’re super fresh and light, but still packed with fantastic flavor and an array of toppings and dipping sauces. And they’re typically large enough to eat as an entree. So when I had a reader request some lettuce wraps, I figured a copycat lettuce wrap recipe was in order!
Now, I made a few changes to my own tastes and for the purpose of simplicity. But what I ended up with was chicken lettuce wraps that are super delicious without all the guilt of unhealthy eating. With a delicious Asian-inspired flavor profile and a delicious, slightly spicy peanut sauce to drizzle on top, this is an easy make-ahead dinner for those busy summer nights that you can’t imagine cooking!
A Few More Tips To Make This Crunch Thai Peanut Salad
- use left over chicken or buy a rotisserie chicken from your super market
- use store bought shredded carrots
- substitute cooked shrimp for the chicken
- mix up the veggies and add what you have on hand. Zucchini, asparagus, broccoliskies the limit!

Thai Chicken Salad Meets Green Papaya
I first made this recipe when we were living in the Philippines, so I used a green papaya because I HAD ACCESS TO THESE THINGS. The semi-spicy, puckery punch is equal parts shocking and mesmerizing.
If you dont live in the tropics, heres what I want you to do:
Make a 60-second effort to locate a green papaya or green mango, which is a great substitution. Peel it and grate it, but dont taste it yet because its so sour and youre going to be ruffled. Just add it into the salad with all the other parts, and the whole thing will sing.
Whichever choose-your-own-adventure path you take, I really dont think youre going to be sad about this punchy, crunchy, super-fresh salad.

What Is Napa Cabbage And Do I Have To Use It In This Recipe
- Napa cabbage is an asian variety of cabbagesuper simple! It has long crinkly leaves and softer texture than the head cabbage we are used to. Id describe it as a cross between romaine and head cabbage. You find it in the asian section of your produce department, usually right next to the bok choy.
- You can substitute any hearty lettuce, like iceberg or romaine.
Tip- When cutting your english cucs, use a spoon to remove the seeds. This will keep your salad nice and crunchy.

Tips For Making Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps
- Don’t overcook the chicken! I use a package of chicken tenderloins with my Coconut Cilantro Lime Chicken marinade. Keep a close eye on the chicken while grilling and pull them from the grill just before they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees .
- You can serve the chicken warm and fresh off the grill or refrigerate and serve it cold- it tastes great either way.
- I like to make the Asian Cucumber Salad in advance so they cucumbers can marinate in the dressing. Be sure to slice the cucumbers nice and thin.
- If you don’t want a very messy eating experience, you can also chop all the ingredients and serve it as a salad.
