Measuring cups and spoons
Small mixing bowl
Whisk

Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken
1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
1 small red onion, finely diced
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon Swerve or erythritol sweetener
2 teaspoons sesame oil
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
¼ cup unsalted roasted peanuts, crushed
8 large lettuce leaves like butter lettuce or romaine, washed and dried

Instructions

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and red onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, fish sauce, Swerve, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Pour this mixture over the cooked chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to combine and let simmer for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and crushed peanuts, reserving some for garnish if desired.
Arrange the lettuce leaves on a plate. Spoon the chicken mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf.
If desired, garnish with additional cilantro and crushed peanuts before serving.

Notes

For a soy-free version, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce. Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your heat preference. Ensure the lettuce leaves are dried after washing to prevent them from tearing when wrapping. These wraps are best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. Reheat the filling gently to avoid drying it out.
