Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 2 tbsp Avocado oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tbsp Fish sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for soy-free)
- 1 tsp Erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener)
- 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 2 Green onions, sliced
- 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
- 12 leaves Butter lettuce leaves (or any sturdy lettuce like romaine or iceberg)
- 0.5 Cucumber, julienned
- 0.25 cup Carrots, julienned (optional for a slightly higher carb count)
- 2 tbsp Crushed peanuts or chopped almonds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the avocado oil.
Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce by whisking together fish sauce, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), erythritol, red chili flakes, and lime juice in a small bowl.
Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to combine. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sliced green onions and chopped cilantro.
Prepare the lettuce cups by arranging the butter lettuce leaves on a serving plate. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into each lettuce leaf.
Top with julienned cucumber and optional garnishes like carrots, crushed peanuts, or chopped almonds for added crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy these fresh, keto-friendly Thai chicken lettuce wraps!
