Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • 1 lb ground chicken

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tbsp grated ginger

  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce)

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

For the peanut sauce:

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened peanut butter

  • 2 tbsp coconut milk or warm water

  • 1 tbsp lime juice

  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos

  • 1/2 tsp fish sauce

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Wrap toppings:

  • Butter lettuce or romaine leaves

  • Shredded carrots

  • Sliced cucumber

  • Chopped green onions

  • Crushed peanuts or sunflower seeds

  • Fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and ginger. Stir for 30 seconds.

  • Add ground chicken. Cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks—about 5 to 7 minutes.

  • Stir in coconut aminos, vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Let simmer 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens a bit.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together all peanut sauce ingredients. Thin with water or coconut milk as needed.

  • Wash and dry lettuce leaves. Lay them out on a plate or tray.

  • Fill each leaf with a spoonful of chicken. Drizzle with peanut sauce. Add carrots, cucumber, green onions, peanuts, and cilantro.

  • Fold and eat like tacos. Done!

Notes

  • You can use leftover grilled chicken instead of ground chicken.

  • Don’t skip the peanut sauce—it ties everything together.

  • Great cold the next day.

  • To make it nut-free, use sunflower seed butter and omit peanuts.

  • Works for lunchboxes, parties, or fast Whole30 Dinners.

  • For extra crunch, try iceberg lettuce or use it in a Chicken Lavash Wrap.
