In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, honey, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set the raspberry glaze aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5–7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
While the chicken rests, carefully separate the butter lettuce leaves and wash them thoroughly. Pat them dry with a paper towel and arrange on a serving plate.
Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and place them in a mixing bowl. Drizzle about half of the prepared raspberry glaze over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
To assemble the wraps, spoon the raspberry-glazed chicken onto each butter lettuce leaf. Top with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and an optional drizzle of the remaining raspberry glaze.
Serve immediately and enjoy these fresh and flavorful lettuce wraps!
