Crispy, savory, and wrapped in a cool lettuce leaf — these chicken lettuce wraps from Chef Jet Tila are everything a weeknight dinner should be. The Jet Tila Umami Punch blend does the heavy lifting on flavor, bringing deep, layered savoriness to every golden-fried bite. Stack them high with kimchi and a squeeze of lime and let the crunch do the talking.

Umami Punch Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup panko (regular, rice or pork)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Jet Tila Umami Punch blend
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • Crisp lettuce leaves, like red leaf or bib, trimmed into handheld size
  • Kimchi
  • Red pepper, sliced
  • Lime
  • Chili Sauce
  • Green onions

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl add the panko and spice blend and whisk to combine. In another medium bowl add the eggs and whisk. In a third bowl add the flour.
  2. Add the cubed chicken to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Dip into the egg mixture and then into the panko, coating all sides. Set on a parchment lined baking sheet until you have dredged all of the chicken.

  3. Heat a large walk or skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Quickly fry the chicken until golden brown on all sides and remove to a paper towel lined baking sheet.

  4. Assemble the lettuce wraps by placing a few pieces of crispy chicken, kimchi, red pepper, green onions, chili sauce and top with a squeeze of lime and serve immediately.
