Ground Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients:

Lettuce Wraps:

• Mary's Organic ground chicken
• 1 red pepper diced, optional
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 small yellow onion diced
• red butter lettuce leaves, for serving

Toppings:

• scallions
• cilantro
• crushed peanuts

Sauce:

• 2 tsp fresh ground ginger, optional
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Tbsp honey
• 2 Tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp peanut butter or alternative
• 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 2 tsp Sriracha or to taste

Instructions:

• Add all sauce ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk well. Set aside.
• Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add ground chicken and cook until no pink remains. 
• When the chicken is done, add red pepper, carrots and onion and cook until soft, 5-7 minutes.
• Stir in the sauce until it's completely combined then turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes to thicken and develop the flavor.
• Remove pan from heat.  Serve mixture in lettuce cups. You may need to double up the lettuce cups for a sturdier wrap. Top with chopped scallions, cilantro and peanuts if desired.
