Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 12 pieces Butter lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Almond butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup Carrot, shredded
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce by whisking together coconut aminos, lime juice, almond butter, and honey in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Stir well to evenly coat the chicken and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir the shredded carrot, diced red bell pepper, and sliced green onions into the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes just to soften the vegetables slightly while maintaining their crunch.
Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the chopped fresh cilantro.
To assemble the lettuce wraps, lay out the butter lettuce leaves on a serving tray. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture into each leaf.
Top with crushed peanuts if desired for extra crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
