How to make this chicken lettuce wraps recipe
One of the many things I love about this recipe is how easy it is to make. Once you toss the chicken in some pantry-staple spices and grill it, all that's left to do is assemble the wraps.
- Toss chicken thighs in spices and pop them on the grill.
- Chop the grilled chicken, toss it with some Summer Fresh Bruschetta, and put it on lettuce leaves.
- Add your toppings.
That's it! See how easy that was?
We need to say a big thank you to Summer Fresh for helping make this dinner a breeze to put together. Opening a container of their delicious bruschetta takes most of the chopping and prepping out of dinner. And using their tzatziki totally kicks these lettuce wraps up a notch.
You probably already know that I'm a big fan of Summer Fresh dips. I've used their tzatziki to make Sheet Pan Tzatziki Chicken and Tzatziki Avocado Salmon Rolls. I've also recently made Roasted Red Pepper Dip Grilled Shrimp Skewers with (you guessed it!) Summer Fresh Roasted Red Pepper Dip.
Summer Fresh helps make cooking easier!
Make this bruschetta chicken recipe all year round
There is no reason to stop making this bruschetta chicken when the days turn cooler. But since you likely don't want to stand in front of your BBQ with rain or snow falling on your head, you'll have to cook the chicken differently.
Stovetop bruschetta chicken:
- Rather than opening your BBQ, reach for a pan. Cook the chicken thighs over medium-high heat for 5 minutes per side.
That's it! Now you can chop the chicken and assemble the wraps.
Is this bruschetta chicken recipe healthy?
Yes! Chicken is a lean meat that is high in protein and low in fat and calories. Wrapping the grilled chicken in lettuce adds veggies to your diet and makes it a low-carb and gluten-free dinner option.
And as long as you skip the optional tzatziki, this recipe is Whole30 and paleo, too!

Notes
Pin to save for later!
I made some homemade bruschetta over the weekend, so when I saw this recipe, I knew just how to use up the leftovers. At my local grocery store, thin, pounded-out turkey breasts were on sale, so I used that for the meat. I cut it into bite-sized pieces and coated it in the seasoning and a bit of oil. Then I cooked it in a pan. While it cooked, I prepared everything else, and was ready to eat in less than 10 minutes! I also couldn’t find the right kind of lettuce for wraps so I just made it into a regular salad which made it even quicker.
My husband’s 93-year-old grandma recently moved in with us and she practically licked her bowl clean. She was eager to find out when I’d be trying another one of your recipes! =D And here’s the kicker… she’s Bavarian and only accustomed to Bavarian and German food (we live in Germany). So for her to rave about something new is a pretty huge deal!
I cannot recommend this recipe enough! Super yummy. Super fast. And 2 big thumbs up from grandma! =)
I love it! What a great compliment. Please tell grandma that I said thank you!
This is incredible! The flavor is amazing and I love how easy the chicken cooks up!
I’m so happy to hear it was a hit! Thank you for coming back to comment!
These lettuce wraps were a hit at my pool party. Thanks so much for the recipe. I served them as appetizers!
That makes me so happy to hear! What a perfect appy for a pool party!
Yum! Looks so mouth watering!
Thanks! They’re so good!
Lettuce wraps are one of my favorites any time of year! I love the bruschetta spin you put on this! Delicious!
They’re my fav too! So happy to hear you liked the bruschetta spin!
