Ingredients for Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps:

Olive Oil (any cooking oil)

Onion

Carrot

Celery

Garlic Powder & Black Pepper (to season the chicken)

Soy Sauce

Honey

Peanut Butter

Ginger (I used a frozen ginger cube)

Garlic (minced)

Sesame Oil (can sub any oil)

Lime Juice (can sub lemon)

Lettuce (Head of iceberg lettuce, romaine hearts, or bib lettuce works best for this recipe)

Optional** Green onion and Cilantro

Instructions for Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps:

1. Kitchen items needed for this recipe: skillet, cutting board and knife, small bowl.
2. Dice carrot, celery, and onion. Place to the side so it is ready to add to the chicken while cooking.
3. Place skillet on the stove and turn to medium heat.
4. Add a tablespoon of olive oil or any cooking oil to the skillet then add the package of ground chicken. You can also ground chicken yourself if you cannot find this in your grocery store.
5. In the skillet “chop” the chicken with a spatula or ground beef masher (if you have one). Season the chicken with black pepper and garlic powder. Any seasoning can be used to flavor the chicken. Sometimes I will add red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
6. Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion to the chicken and cook together until the chicken is no longer pink.
7. In a bowl add the following ingredients: soy sauce, peanut butter, minced garlic, sriracha, sesame oil, ginger, honey, and lime juice. Mix together then pour on top of the chicken.
8. Cook the chicken with the sauce mixture until it has thickened and is a sticky consistancy. This will take around 10 minutes or longer.
9. Prepare the lettuce cups by slicing the head of iceberg lettuce in half, unravel multiple layers for the cups.
10. Scoop the Thai chicken mix into the lettuce cups and top with (optional) green onion and/or cilantro and squeeze of fresh lime.
