Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/3 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 pound lean ground chicken
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

  • 1 head Bibb lettuce, rinsed, leaves separated and dried

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl the oil to coat the bottom of the skillet then add in the onion. Sauté for 2 minutes then add in the ground chicken, season with salt and pepper and crumble with a wooden spoon. Cook until the chicken is longer pink and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add in the garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and cook for another minute. Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture and stir to coat. Turn the heat down to medium and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the cilantro, mint and cashews. Taste for seasoning. Serve immediately in the rinsed and dried lettuce leaves.
