I’m excited to try this dish tonight!
We hope you enjoy, Rebecca!
The lettuce wraps were wonderful, both my husband and I enjoyed them. I will be using extra chicken so my kids can try next time.
Tips for cubing chicken ahead of time? Like how to store it? I don’t like reheated chicken, so don’t wanna cook it ahead of time, but like to meal prep everything I can at one time.
Hi Tasha! Some stores might actually sell pre-cut chicken. Otherwise, you can always cube it and then store it in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container/sealed bag until you’re ready to cook it. ?
Very good! Husband and teenage daughter both loved it also!
Do you have a recommended brand on the teriyaki sauce?
Hi Emilie! Primal Kitchen makes a good one!
Yum, this looks great. Where would a calorie count be? In WW most veggies are zero points, and chicken is very low. I’m needing to live a healthier life this 2021!
Hi Peggie! Yes, it’s so good! We don’t currently include caloric information on our recipes, as we want to focus more on the whole, nourishing ingredients and how they help us feel. We are also sensitive to those who find caloric information triggering. That being said, we also understand that calories and nutritional information are important for many people to track for health reasons – we recommend using an app like MyFitnessPal to copy over the ingredients in these cases. We’re also always open to feedback and suggestions for how we can continue to best serve our community, so always feel free to share. ? We hope you find recipes in Recipe Central that you enjoy in the meantime!
So delicious!
Would extra virgin olive oil be okay to substitute for the avocado oil?
Just made this tonight and added some minced ginger and subbed sesame oil for the avocado oil…so good!
So glad you liked this recipe, Rachel! Love the addition of minced ginger. 🙂

I made the recipe from the plan, it was great! Husband and kids both complimented dinner. Then I got to wondering if I could make the sauce myself. I will give this a go next time. X
Love hearing how your whole family enjoyed this meal, Sarah!
These are delicious & kid friendly!! Yum!
Happy to hear you and your kids enjoyed this recipe, Lynsey! 🙂
Our family loves this recipe! I sometimes add rice to half of the batch for those in my family who need something more filling. It tastes great with leftover veggies, green beans, asparagus, really anything. I also add fresh grated ginger for a little more flavor. So versatile and fun to change up.
Hooray! So happy to hear how you and your family like this recipe, Elizabeth!
