Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter or almond butter (unsweetened)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Shredded carrots
- 8 pieces Butter lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce or coconut aminos, fish sauce, lime juice, peanut or almond butter, and red chili flakes until smooth.
Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well to coat. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, so the flavors meld together.
Stir in the sliced green onions, chopped fresh cilantro, and shredded carrots. Cook for an additional 1 minute, then remove from heat.
To assemble the wraps, spoon the chicken mixture into the center of each butter lettuce leaf.
Top with additional chopped peanuts (if using) and extra cilantro for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
