Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 medium Shallots, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 12 leaves Lettuce leaves (e.g., butter lettuce, for serving)
- 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 cups Cooked rice or cauliflower rice (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
Step 2
Drain any excess liquid from the skillet. Return the skillet to the heat and add the minced garlic and chili flakes. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the fish sauce, lime juice, and soy sauce to the chicken. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 4
Remove the skillet from heat, and stir in the sliced shallots, chopped mint leaves, cilantro, and sliced green onions. Mix until everything is well combined.
Step 5
To serve, spoon the chicken mixture into the lettuce leaves.
Step 6
Optionally, serve with thinly sliced cucumber for added crunch and, if desired, a side of cooked rice or cauliflower rice for a more filling meal.
Step 7
Enjoy your low-carb chicken larb, either wrapped in lettuce or as a delightful topping over rice.
