Description

Simple and healthy lettuce wraps filled with all the tender saucy chicken you can pile on.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb. ground chicken
  • 1 heaping teaspoon arrowroot or tapioca powder
  • 1 shallot, chopped finely
  • 1 red bell pepper, small diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, minced or grated
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (if desired)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup cashews, roughly chopped
  • 1 bunch of bib lettuce, cleaned
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet up over high heat. Meanwhile, quickly mix together the ground chicken and arrowroot powder. When the pan is hot, add in the olive oil and let it coat the pan. Add in the chicken. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes before breaking up with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  2. Add in the shallot, bell pepper, garlic and ginger. Continue to mix the chicken up while breaking it into small pieces, until all of the chicken is cooked through (it is all white). Turn the heat to low.
  3. Stir in the coconut aminos, hot sauce (if using), sesame oil and cashews. Toss to coat the chicken with the sauce.
  4. Arrange a few lettuce leaves on a plate. Add about 2 heaping tablespoons to the center. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.

Notes

Omit the cashews and add in chopped water chestnuts
