Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 8 oz can water chestnuts, drained and chopped fine
  • 3 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce tamari, or coconut aminos
  • 3 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoon sweet chili sauce
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • lettuce leaves
  • ¼ cup crushed peanuts

Instructions
 

  • Make the sauce by combining the coconut aminos, GF hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, natural peanut butter, honey, sweet chili sauce, minced garlic, and ginger paste.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the avocado oil to the pan. Once it's hot, add the ground chicken and cook it until browned. Drain the grease and set the chicken aside in a bowl.
  • In the same skillet, saute the onions, peppers, and water chestnuts for 10 minutes or until soft.
  • Add the cooked chicken and the sauce to the pan, simmer the chicken mix until everything is heated through and coated with sauce.
  • Serve the ground chicken in lettuce leaves, garnish with chopped peanuts and freshly chopped cilantro. Enjoy!

Notes

Lean ground turkey or ground beef can be substituted for the ground chicken, as can diced chicken.
To meal prep the Asian chicken lettuce wraps for lunch, store the lettuce leaves separate from the ground chicken so the lettuce doesn't get soggy. Each serving is ⅔ cup of chicken plus 4 lettuce leaves.
To keep the recipe gluten-free, be sure to use coconut aminos or tamari sauce and gluten-free hoisin sauce. If you aren't trying to eat gluten-free, you can swap the coconut aminos for low sodium soy sauce.
