Chicken Bacon Ranch Lettuce Wrap Recipe – Low-Carb Lunch Idea

Jump to Recipe

I love this fresh take on classic chicken lettuce wraps. Many recipes lean toward Asian flavors, but this version combines ground chicken, turkey bacon, mushrooms, avocado and ranch for a new, low-carb twist.

Sometimes I enjoy traditional chicken salad in a lettuce leaf, but I wanted something different—more like a chicken bacon ranch sandwich without the bread. Using ground chicken makes these wraps quick and satisfying. I also discovered I really like turkey bacon in this recipe.

The method is simple: cook the turkey bacon in the microwave while you brown the ground chicken and mushrooms in a skillet. Add crumbled turkey bacon to the skillet, season to taste, top with a little cheese to melt, and assemble in lettuce leaves. Because I used fresh ground chicken, not frozen, the whole process took about 10 minutes—perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.
