Hello, new friends! Jenn Lueke here, taking over Make It Good this week to share an incredibly simple, incredibly delicious dinner I think you’re going to love. If it’s our first time meeting, I write the eat goood newsletter here on Substack, I’m the creator behind @jenneatsgoood on Instagram, and my cookbook Don’t Think About Dinner came out in January of this year. As a huge fan of Danielle and all she does, it’s an honor to share a recipe with you all and get to land in your inboxes!
Today I’m sharing a repeat recipe in my home: Sweet and Spicy Cashew Chili Lettuce Wraps. It’s the dinner I make when I’m short on ideas, time, and energy but still want something tasty and satisfying. The steps are quick, with a strong flavor payoff—whisk together the sauce, brown your ground chicken, pour the sauce over everything, and you’re basically done. Even my husband has this one memorized.
Got extra veggies, like bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, or broccoli nearing expiration in the fridge? Chop them up and toss them in! Have a pound of ground turkey, beef, or pork waiting in the freezer to be used up? That works, too! And if lettuce wraps aren’t your vibe, the protein base can easily be added to grain bowls. As a meal prepper, I love to double up and keep leftovers in the fridge or freezer for later.
And for another quick recipe: back in January, Danielle and I cooked a different lettuce wrap recipe on Substack live, which you can watch below if you missed it. We made Pineapple-Shrimp Lettuce Wraps from my cookbook!
To get the recipe for free, head to Danielle’s post here, or grab the book on sale!
I hope you enjoy this recipe! Let us know in the comments if you make it.
❤️ Jenn
