Description
Delicious and healthy chicken lettuce wraps made with ground chicken and fresh vegetables. Perfect for a light meal!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option)
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 head of romaine or butter lettuce, leaves separated
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.
- Stir in the diced red bell pepper and cauliflower rice. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the cauliflower rice to warm through.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, and sesame oil. Pour this mixture over the chicken and veggie mixture in the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes to heat everything through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, spoon the chicken mixture into the individual lettuce leaves, creating wraps. Top with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
- Enjoy the chicken lettuce wrap bowls immediately while the filling is warm.
Notes
- This dish can be customized by adding other vegetables like shredded carrots or diced zucchini.
- For a spicier kick, add more Sriracha sauce or even some chopped chili peppers.
- Feel free to use ground turkey or beef instead of chicken for variation.
