Ingredients: 1 lb ground chicken. 1 tablespoon coconut oil. 1 small onion, finely chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced. 1/4 cup coconut aminos. 2 tablespoons almond butter. 1 tablespoon rice vinegar. 1 teaspoon sesame oil. 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste. Salt and pepper to taste. 8-10 large lettuce leaves such as iceberg or butter lettuce. 1/4 cup chopped green onions. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. 1/4 cup chopped roasted cashews optional.
Instructions: In a big skillet, warm the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 34 minutes, or until transparent. Add the ginger and garlic powder, stir, and cook for a further one to two minutes, or until aromatic. When the ground chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, add it to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, for about five to seven minutes. Combine the coconut aminos, almond butter, sesame oil, rice vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. After adding the sauce to the skillet with the cooked chicken, stir everything together. Cook until thoroughly heated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Spoon the chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf before serving. If desired, sprinkle roasted cashews, chopped cilantro, and green onions on top. Savor your Asian chicken lettuce wraps, which are Paleo-friendly!
