Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 romaine or butter lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by finely dicing the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces.
Wash and dry the lettuce leaves thoroughly and set them aside, ensuring they are kept whole for wrapping.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced red bell pepper and shredded carrot to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Add the diced chicken to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
Stir in the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and grated ginger. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
To assemble, spoon a portion of the chicken mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf.
Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling and enjoy your Whole30 Chicken Lettuce Wraps immediately.
