Ingredients

Chicken:

1 pound ground chicken
1 tablespoon avocado oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
¾ teaspoon salt, to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper, to taste

Peanut Sauce:

⅓ cup natural creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons coconut aminos
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sriracha, optional
3-5 tablespoons warm water, to thin

For Serving:

Bibb lettuce
Shredded carrots
Chopped peanuts
Sliced scallinos
Sriracha

Instructions

Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, 5 to 6 minutes until mostly cooked through.
Add garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant and fully cooked. If there’s excess liquid, let it cook off so the mixture isn’t watery.
In a bowl, make the sauce: Whisk peanut butter, coconut aminos, lime juice, maple syrup, sesame oil, and Sriracha (if using).
Add warm water a tablespoon at a time until smooth and spoonable.
Add about two-thirds of the peanut sauce to the chicken and toss to coat. Let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
When ready to eat, spoon chicken mixture into bibb lettuce leaves. Top with cucumber, carrots, peanuts, and scallions. Drizzle with remaining sauce and serve with additional toppings of choice. Enjoy!

Notes

This is a great meal prep recipe! Make a batch of the chicken mixture, and reheat throughout the week for quick and easy lunches. If reheating isn’t an option, this is also tasty cold or at room temperature.
