Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground chicken
- 2 medium, finely sliced Shallots
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 4 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 20 grams, chopped Fresh mint leaves
- 20 grams, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 3 sliced Green onions
- 1 finely sliced Red chili
- 8 Romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 cups Cooked jasmine rice
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Add the sliced shallots and minced garlic to the chicken and cook for another 2 minutes until the shallots are soft.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, and chili powder to create the larb dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture in the skillet. Stir thoroughly to combine, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors for about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the chopped mint, cilantro, green onions, and sliced red chili.
To serve, lay romaine lettuce leaves on a plate as cups.
Spoon the chicken larb mixture into the lettuce leaves. Serve with cooked jasmine rice on the side.
