These flavorful Thai basil chicken lettuce wraps come together fast—perfect for busy weeknights when you want something nourishing and bold without a lot of effort. The stir-fry is infused with garlic, ginger, and loads of anti-inflammatory Thai basil for a deeply aromatic, satisfying dish that’s naturally soy-free and low-carb. Serve the filling in crisp lettuce cups and drizzle with a tangy sauce at the table. If you’re feeding children or need a heartier meal, serve over white jasmine rice with chopped romaine lettuce on the side. Sliced cucumbers make a refreshing addition on the side!
