Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground chicken
• 12 pieces Butter lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons Almond butter
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 cup Carrot, shredded
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce by whisking together coconut aminos, lime juice, almond butter, and honey in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 5

Once the chicken is fully cooked, pour the sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Stir well to evenly coat the chicken and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Stir the shredded carrot, diced red bell pepper, and sliced green onions into the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes just to soften the vegetables slightly while maintaining their crunch.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 8

To assemble the lettuce wraps, lay out the butter lettuce leaves on a serving tray. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture into each leaf.

Step 9

Top with crushed peanuts if desired for extra crunch.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
