Vietnamese-style Chicken Wraps

Fresh, vibrant, and full of texture, these Vietnamese-inspired lettuce wraps make a light yet satisfying meal—perfect for warm days when you want some...thing quick and flavourful. Think of them like DIY tacos: everyone can assemble their own wraps at the table, layering in the chicken, noodles, crunchy veg, and toppings. Prefer a bowl? Just serve everything together as a colourful noodle salad.

The chicken is best marinated in advance to deepen the flavour. A minimum of 30 minutes is ideal, but you can prep it up to 3 days ahead and keep it in the fridge until ready to cook.
