Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 1 cup carrots cut julienne, or shredded
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute (I use Truvia brown sugar, or stevia)
  • 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
  • a dash of sriracha
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • 12 leaves green leaf lettuce (or use butter lettuce)
  • sesame seeds and sliced green onions for serving

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
  • Once the skillet is hot, add the garlic, onion and carrots and saute just until the onion and carrots begin to soften.
  • Add the ground chicken and brown it until it's cooked through and no longer pink.
  • Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar substitute (or stevia), peanut butter, and sriracha and stir well to combine (a sauce will form as you stir).
  • Combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl with a whisk or a fork until the cornstarch has dissolved.
  • Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and stir well as the sauce thickens.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and serve the chicken mixture in its sauce in lettuce wraps (or over rice for a high-carb meal) with some chopped peanuts and sliced green onions.

Notes

This recipe makes 18 small lettuce wraps or 12 large ones. 
To use this recipe for meal prep: Prepare the chicken filling up to 3 days ahead and store it in the fridge in an airtight container until ready to serve. Reheat before serving.
