Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sriracha (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • 8 large lettuce leaves (butter lettuce or romaine)
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken:
    In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Add aromatics:
    Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add sauce:
    Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using). Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Assemble the wraps:
    Lay out the lettuce leaves on a serving plate. Spoon the chicken mixture into each leaf. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
  5. Serve:
    Serve immediately, allowing everyone to wrap the lettuce around the chicken mixture and enjoy.
