Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

1 bell pepper, finely chopped (red or yellow for sweetness)

1 small carrot, grated

3 green onions, chopped (divided)

3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for heat)

1 head of romaine lettuce or butter lettuce

Sesame seeds for garnish

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

    Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Incorporate Vegetables: Add the chopped bell pepper and grated carrot to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

        Flavor It Up: Pour in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha (if using). Stir well to combine, and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

          Finish with Green Onions: Stir in half of the chopped green onions, reserving the rest for garnish. Remove the skillet from heat.

            Prepare the Wraps: Carefully separate the lettuce leaves and rinse them under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.

              Assemble the Wraps: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and remaining green onions. Add fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.

                Serve: Enjoy your low-carb chicken lettuce wraps fresh, either as an appetizer or a light main dish!
