what you’ll need:

For the Chicken & veggie filling

  • 1 pound ground chicken

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot 

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos (or soy sauce)  

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

  • Avocado oil spray

For the peanut sauce

  • 1/4 cup peanut butter

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk 

  • 2 tbs coconut aminos 

  • 2 tbs rice vinegar 

  • 2 tbs sriracha

  • 2 tsp minced garlic 

  • 2 tsp ginger powder 

  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil 

Toppings & EXTRAS

  • Bibb lettuce

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped 

  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts

  • Green onions, sliced

  • Squeeze of fresh lime juice

Instructions:

Start by cutting the veggies for the filling. Finely dice the onion and bell pepper.

Next, preheat a pan over medium heat and spray it with avocado oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the chopped bell pepper and onion, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.

Add the ground chicken to the pan and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Sprinkle in 1/2 tsp of cumin and 1/4 tsp of ground white pepper. Mix everything together well and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked. Once cooked, stir in the shredded carrot and coconut aminos. Let it simmer on low for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to come together.

Meanwhile, prepare the peanut sauce. In a blender, combine all the peanut sauce ingredients and blend on high for about 1 minute until the mixture is smooth.

Now it’s time to assemble! Place 2-3 pieces of bibb lettuce per person on a plate. Spoon a portion of the chicken and veggie filling onto each lettuce leaf. Drizzle with the peanut sauce, sprinkle with crushed peanuts, chopped cilantro, sliced green onion, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Enjoy!
