Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground chicken
• 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 small Red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh mint leaves
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 pieces Green onions, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 8 large Romaine lettuce leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Drain any excess liquid from the skillet and return to the heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the chicken and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the chicken absorbs most of the liquid and develops a nice flavor.

Step 6

Stir in the red onion, mint leaves, cilantro, green onions, and chili flakes. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until the onions soften slightly.

Step 7

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 8

To serve, spoon the chicken mixture into the center of each romaine lettuce leaf, dividing evenly among them.

Step 9

Serve the larb immediately while the lettuce is crisp and the chicken slightly warm.
