This Asian-Inspired Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Slaw is a solid recipe for many weeknight meals: The combination of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce means the chicken can be easily added to rice, grains, and pasta without any additional seasoning. Have some in the fridge, and you’ll be off to a great week.
In addition to the ingredients for the chicken wraps, pick up the following:
- Flour or corn tortillas
- Mixed greens
- Baguette
-
Your choice of various grains: farro, quinoa, or freekeh
- Sriracha
- Mayo
- Avocado
- Rice noodles
- Rice paper for spring rolls
- Nori
On Sunday night, prepare or buy a roasted chicken and make two batches of the slaw, leaving half of it dry without the white wine vinegar and oil.

Wrap the roasted chicken and slaw into a taco using either a flour or corn tortilla. If you use a corn tortilla, slightly toast it in a frying pan with a splash of oil.
-
Make a sandwich! Spread the top and bottom slice of your bread with Sirachannaise Sauce.
-
Match the chicken with your favorite grain and top with the cabbage slaw. This makes an awesome rice or (grain) bowl.

Roll the chicken, slaw, and cooked rice in rice paper to make a fresh spring roll! If you want extra protein, roll in a few shrimp. Don’t forget the duck sauce made with two ingredients— apricot jam and vinegar.
