Description

These protein-packed, low-calorie lettuce wraps feature flavorful ground chicken folded into crispy lettuce cups. A quick and satisfying meal with bold soy and garlic notes, perfect for healthy dinners.


Ingredients

Scale

1 lb ground chicken
1216 baby lettuce leaves
23 cloves minced garlic
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 small bunch sliced green onions (about 1/2 cup)
Black pepper, to taste


Instructions

Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat
Add a drop of water and wait for it to sizzle before chicken is added
Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, for approximately 5 to 7 minutes or until fully cooked
Stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking for 1 additional minute
Mix in soy sauce, green onions, and black pepper
Place lettuce leaves in the hot skillet to warm slightly
Spoon chicken mixture onto lettuce leaves and fold into wraps


Notes

For halal variation: skip pork-based ingredients
Use romaine or iceberg lettuce if baby lettuce isn’t available
Coconut aminos works as a keto/gluten-free soy sauce alternative
Adjust garlic or soy sauce quantities for personal taste
