Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 head butter lettuce leaves separated
  • 1/4 cup water chestnuts diced

Method
 

  1. Brown the ground chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks.
  2. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Stir in the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and water chestnuts and simmer 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves while the filling cools slightly.
  5. Spoon the chicken into the lettuce cups and serve.

Notes

Butter lettuce holds the filling best, but romaine works in a pinch.
