Ingredients

  • 1 lb organic ground chicken
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos

Clean swaps

How we upgrade the restaurant version with better ingredients.

  • Canola or vegetable oil (typical restaurant) → Avocado oil — Avoids industrial seed oils and provides a higher smoke point.
  • Hoisin sauce (contains high fructose corn syrup) → Coconut aminos and raw honey — Eliminates processed sugars and chemical preservatives.
  • Soy sauce (often contains wheat/fillers) → Coconut aminos — Provides a cleaner, gluten-free savory flavor without additives.

Instructions

  1. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves, then separate into individual cups.
  2. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the ground chicken, garlic, and ginger to the skillet.
  4. Break up the meat with a spatula and cook until browned and no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Pour in the coconut aminos and honey; stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Fold in the scallions and toasted sesame seeds, then remove from heat.
  7. Spoon the chicken mixture into the lettuce leaves and serve immediately.

FAQ

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, because we substituted traditional soy sauce with coconut aminos, which are naturally gluten-free.

Can I make this meatless?

Absolutely! Simply swap the ground chicken for finely chopped mushrooms or crumbled extra-firm organic tofu.
