Chicken Lettuce Wraps Ingredients:
- 2 lb boneless chicken thigh, minced

Instructions
- Start off by mixing up the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
- Grab a large wok or pan and heat on medium-high. Once hot, add in 2 tbsp of Avocado Oil and let it heat up. Add in the minced chicken and season with a nice pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, tossing often.

- Add the serrano pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Now add in the garlic and ginger and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

- Add in 1/2 of the sauce mixture and cook for 4 minutes stirring often. Once done, add in the remainder of the sauce and the diced water chestnuts and cook for 4 minutes stirring often.
- Serve on top of the wraps and enjoy!
Notes
You could also top the lettuce wraps with some Cauliflower rice and the mixture!
Recipe is amazing. Best part is the cooking process only requires the wok, so it’s a true one-pot meal. Our nine-year old pretty much sticks to hot dogs, chicken nuggets, and grilled cheese, but he loved it.
Hey Zac! So pumped to hear you enjoyed this recipe and that it was kid friendly too! Hope you have a fantastic day!
