Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground chicken
• 3 tbsp Coconut aminos
• 2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
• 2 tbsp Almond butter (unsweetened)
• 1 tbsp Fish sauce (Whole30-compliant)
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Avocado oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 1 Red bell pepper, diced
• 2 Scallions, sliced
• 8 large Lettuce leaves (e.g., butter lettuce or romaine)
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tbsp Crushed cashews (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, fresh lime juice, almond butter, fish sauce, and sesame oil to create the sauce. Set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn.

Step 4

Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.

Step 5

Stir in the grated carrot, diced red bell pepper, and sliced scallions. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to soften the vegetables slightly.

Step 6

Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet, stirring until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated. Cook for 1-2 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 8

To assemble, spoon the chicken mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf. Top with fresh cilantro, crushed cashews (if using), and a pinch of red pepper flakes for spice, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
