Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Carrot, shredded
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 3 tbsp Coconut aminos
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Fish sauce
- 1 tsp Sriracha sauce (optional for heat)
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
- 12 leaves Butterhead or Romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté until aromatic, about 1 minute.
Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high, add the ground chicken, and cook until browned, breaking up any large chunks, about 5-6 minutes.
Stir in the shredded carrot and red bell pepper, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but crisp.
In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, fish sauce, and sriracha sauce. Pour this sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture, stirring well to coat evenly.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld, then remove from heat.
Stir in the green onions and cilantro, mixing to distribute evenly.
Spoon the mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf, wrapping the leaf around the filling.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and delicious Paleo Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps.
