Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • cup coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
  • ½ pound ground chicken
  • 1 thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, grated
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1 head butter lettuce
  • ½ cup diced water chestnuts
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup finely chopped mushrooms
  • ½ medium white onion, finely diced

Method
 

  1. Ready to jump into the cooking process? Let’s roll up those sleeves!
Step 1: Prepare the Sauce
  1. Start by mixing all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Combine the fish sauce, avocado oil, coconut aminos, and apple cider vinegar. Add the almond butter and blackstrap molasses if you're not on Whole30. Whisk them together until smooth and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, drizzle the avocado oil. Once it's heated, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about a minute, letting the aromas waft through your kitchen.
  2. Next, add the ground chicken to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3: Incorporate Vegetables
  1. Once the chicken is cooked, toss in the chopped onions and mushrooms. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent. Sprinkle in the sea salt and toss in the water chestnuts and green onions.
Step 4: Add the Sauce
  1. Here comes the irresistible part. Pour your sauce into the pan and stir it all together. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 5: Assemble the Wraps
  1. Grab your butter lettuce leaves. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture into each leaf, wrapping it up like a present. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Choose the Right Lettuce: Use butter or romaine lettuce for wraps. They’re sturdy enough to hold the filling without tearing.
  • Modify for Heat: If you enjoy spice, add crushed red pepper flakes or sriracha to your sauce. It adds a nice kick!
  • Experiment with Proteins: Try ground turkey or beef if chicken isn’t your favorite. Each brings a different flavor and texture.
  • Vegetarian Option: Use crushed tempeh or lentils as a substitute for meat. They soak up flavors beautifully.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling a day in advance. Just reheat it before serving and assemble with fresh lettuce leaves.
