Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 red pepper finely cut in strips
- 1 small white onion diced
- ½ can bean sprouts drained
- ½ cup carrots shaved
- ¼ cup basil cut into strips
- ¼ cup crushed peanuts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp minced ginger
- 1 tbsp garlic paste
Sauce ingredients
- ¼ cup PB2
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 lime juiced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce reduced sodium
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 ½ tsp Sriracha
For serving
- iceburg lettuce
Instructions
- Start by dicing the vegetables. Finely slice the onions, red bell peppers, and carrots. Crush the peanuts so they are a crumble.
- Heat a skillet to medium heat with olive oil. Once the oil is fragrant, add diced onions, minced ginger, and garlic paste. Saute for 3-5 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers and carrots to the skillet. Stir together. While it's cooking, combine the dressing in a mason jar. Make the PB2 peanut butter first. Then shake everything until it's mixed and it's a creamy peanut sauce.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the ground chicken. Cook for another 5-7 minutes or until meat is thoroughly cooked.
- Add the bean sprouts and stir. Drizzle the peanut Thai sauce over the skillet and mix together. Garnish the skillet with fresh basil and crushed peanuts.
- Place the lettuce wraps on a plate and divide the Thai chicken mixture into equal servings. This mixture is also delicious served with stir fry noodles. The flavor is impeccable! Enjoy!
Notes
- Store the meat mixture separate from the lettuce in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat meat in the microwave for ~60 seconds before adding to lettuce cups and enjoying.
- Instead of lettuce wraps, alternatively serve the chicken mixture on stir fry noodles, mixed with rice, or in tortillas. The flavors are delicious!
- Don't have all of the sauce ingredients on hand? You can also use a bottled Thai sauce like this one instead!
