Delicious Thai chicken lettuce wraps filled with ground chicken, fresh veggies, and a burst of flavors, perfect for a light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • ¼ cup onion, diced (yellow or white)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger (or ginger paste)
  • 10 oz ground chicken
  • ¼ cup Tamari (low sodium) (or soy sauce, coconut aminos)
  • 2 tablespoons Thai sweet red chili sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (or honey, agave)
  • â…“ cup cashews, chopped (raw or roasted/salted)
  • ¼ cup scallions, chopped
  • ¼ cup cilantro, fresh, chopped
  • ¼–½ cup carrots, shredded
  • Sesame seeds for topping
  • 1 head butter lettuce (leaves removed, rinsed, and dried)

Instructions

  1. Heat a pan to medium-high heat and add the sesame oil. Once hot, toss in the diced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to brown and turn translucent. Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Add ground chicken to the onion mixture, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and no pink remains, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, mix tamari, Thai sweet red chili sauce, lime juice, and maple syrup. Pour this sauce into the pan over the chicken mixture. Toss everything together, reduce heat to low, and cook for 2 more minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in the shredded carrots, chopped scallions, and cilantro.
  4. Take a butter lettuce leaf and fill it with a spoonful of the chicken mixture. Top with the pan sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Continue assembling until all filling has been used.

Notes

For added spice, consider incorporating crushed red pepper or adjusting the amount of Thai sweet red chili sauce.
