Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Olive oil: Or another neutral cooking oil like avocado or canola oil.
• Ground chicken: You could also make these wraps using ground turkey, ground pork or extra-lean ground beef.
• Salt & pepper: To taste.
• Shiitake mushrooms: Swap out for another kind of finely-chopped mushroom of your choice.
• Yellow onion: White onion, shallots, or red onion can be used instead.
• Matchstick carrots: Or another vegetable of your choice like cucumber.
• Water chestnuts: Leave these out if you can’t find them at the store.
• Green onions: Scallions would also be good.
• Boston leaf lettuce: Romaine lettuce, butter lettuce, or iceberg lettuce are all great for lettuce wraps too.

Sauce Ingredients

• Soy sauce: Coconut aminos or tamari are the best substitutes here.
• Sesame oil: You could use a neutral cooking oil like olive oil or canola oil, but it’ll have a milder flavor.
• Honey: Maple syrup or brown sugar would also help make the sauce a bit sweet.
• Garlic: Use freshly minced or jarred minced garlic.
• Ginger: Fresh ginger is best, but if you don’t have any, dried ginger would also work. Use 1 teaspoon dried instead of 1 tablespoon fresh.
• Sriracha: Use another hot sauce or leave this out if you’re not a fan of spice.

Instructions

1. Cook the ground chicken and veggies: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken, season with kosher salt and pepper, and cook until lightly browned. Add the mushrooms, yellow onion, carrots, and water chestnuts, and cook until the veggies have softened.
2. Make the sauce: While the veggies cook, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, and sriracha in a small bowl.
3. Add the remaining ingredients: Add the sauce and green onions to the chicken and veggie mixture. Sauté until combined, then remove from heat and let it cool.
4. Assemble your wraps and serve: Add the chicken mixture to the lettuce leaves, serve and enjoy!
