Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs ground chicken
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 scallions sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper finely diced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sriracha more to taste
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 heads butter lettuce leaves separated
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh Thai basil chopped

Method
 

  1. Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, rice vinegar, sriracha, and sesame oil until silky.
  2. Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Brown ground chicken for 4 minutes, breaking into crumbles.
  3. Add ginger, garlic, and white parts of scallions. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in bell pepper, carrots, and water chestnuts. Cook 3 minutes until tender crisp.
  5. Pour half the peanut sauce over the chicken and toss to coat. Warm through.
  6. Separate butter lettuce leaves and stack on a platter.
  7. Spoon chicken into lettuce cups and top with cucumber, peanuts, herbs, and extra sauce.

Notes

Reserve half the sauce for drizzling. Use butter lettuce for the best cups. Stir natural peanut butter before measuring.
