Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup onions, finely chopped

1/4 cup carrots, shredded

1/4 cup bell pepper, finely diced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon lime juice

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for spice)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

1 head of butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, separated into individual leaves

1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onions, sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onions soften.

  • Add the ground chicken, breaking it up as it cooks. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned.

  • Stir in the shredded carrots, diced bell pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, lime juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.

  • Remove from heat and stir in the fresh cilantro and basil.

  • Spoon the chicken mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf.

  • Garnish with chopped peanuts (optional) and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground chicken with ground tofu or tempeh.

  • Adjust the level of spiciness by adding more red pepper flakes or fresh chili.

  • To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce.
