Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 2 teaspoons Curry powder
• 0.5 cups Coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 head Butterhead lettuce or romaine lettuce
• 0.5 cups Carrots, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by finely chopping the yellow onion and mincing the garlic cloves. Set both aside.

Step 2

Dice the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces for even cooking.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, ground ginger, ground turmeric, and curry powder to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the diced chicken to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned on all sides.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the coconut milk. Stir in the soy sauce and lime juice, mixing well to coat the chicken evenly. Simmer the mixture for 7-8 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is thickened.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh cilantro. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.

Step 8

Separate the lettuce leaves, carefully washing and patting them dry. Use the lettuce leaves as wraps, filling each with a generous spoonful of the curry chicken mixture.

Step 9

Top each lettuce wrap with a sprinkle of shredded carrots for added crunch and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Curry Chicken Lettuce Wraps!
