In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken. Cook and break the chicken into small pieces with a spoon until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess liquid from the skillet and return to the heat.
Add the minced garlic to the chicken and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
In a small bowl, mix together the coconut aminos, fish sauce, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the chicken and stir well to combine.
Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the chicken absorbs most of the liquid and develops a nice flavor.
Stir in the red onion, mint leaves, cilantro, green onions, and chili flakes. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until the onions soften slightly.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
To serve, spoon the chicken mixture into the center of each romaine lettuce leaf, dividing evenly among them.
Serve the larb immediately while the lettuce is crisp and the chicken slightly warm.
