Ingredients
Chicken:
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2″ fresh ginger, grated or minced
- 3 spring onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free)
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoons crushed chilli flakes (optional)
- 1 lime, juiced
Toppings:
- 1 head iceberg or boston lettuce
- 2 carrots, julienned
- 1/4 red cabbage, julienned
- 1 red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- Handful coriander
- Fresh lime, quartered
- In a bowl, stir together tamari, honey, sesame oil and lime juice. Set aside.
- In a pan, heat coconut oil on a medium heat and add the garlic, ginger, and green onion. Cook gently, stirring occasionally for about 2 minutes.
- Add the ground chicken to the pan and cook until chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
- Add the marinade mixture to the pan and allow to cook for another 1-2 minutes until well combined. (I like to let my chicken go an extra couple of minutes because I like it a little crispy in the pan, but the texture is up to you.)
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove the pan from the heat and set aside to serve.
- To serve, spoon about 1/4 cup of the mixture into a large lettuce leaf and serve with the toppings of your choice. (I like to keep my vegetable toppings raw for extra crunch and texture, but certainly gently stir-fry them and add them cooked if you prefer.)
- Serve warm and enjoy!
