Celery Free Asian-Style Chicken Lettuce Wraps

These vibrant, hand-held wraps deliver bold, layered flavor without a single stalk of celery in sight — which matters more than you'd think, since celery has a sneaky way of showing up in Asian-inspired sauces and pre-made stir-fry blends. Here, the savory depth comes from coconut aminos, fresh ginger, garlic, and a touch of turmeric, so every bite is punchy and aromatic on its own terms. Ground chicken cooks up light and tender, while finely diced shiitake mushrooms and water chestnuts add that satisfying, almost meaty texture that makes you forget anything is missing. The carrot brings a subtle sweetness and a pop of color that makes the filling look as good as it tastes. Crisp butter lettuce cups do the heavy lifting as a wrap, keeping things fresh and low-fuss — no tortillas, no bread, just clean and crunchy. A squeeze of lime and a scatter of cilantro at the end tie the whole thing together with a bright, herby finish. This is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels like a restaurant order but comes together entirely in one skillet.
