Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 450g ground chicken
  • 1 cup 100g shredded carrots
  • ½ cup 50g chopped green onions
  • ½ cup 120g unsalted peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp 30ml soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp 15ml honey
  • 1 tbsp 15ml rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp 15ml sesame oil
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce leaves separated
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken

  • I heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 lb ground chicken. I cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until crumbly and golden brown. Once cooked through, I remove it from the skillet and set it aside, keeping any juices in the pan.

Add the Vegetables

  • I add 1 cup shredded carrots and ½ cup chopped green onions to the skillet. I stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until the carrots soften slightly and the onions release their zesty aroma, keeping the veggies crisp.

Prepare the Peanut Sauce

  • In a medium bowl, I whisk together ½ cup peanut butter, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp sesame oil until smooth and creamy. This sauce brings the dish together with its nutty, savory depth.

Combine Ingredients

  • I return the chicken to the skillet and pour the peanut sauce over the chicken and veggie mixture. I stir gently to coat everything evenly, letting the vibrant flavors meld for about 1 minute.

Prepare the Lettuce

  • I wash 1 head of iceberg lettuce and carefully separate the leaves, keeping them whole to use as wraps. I pat them dry to ensure they stay crisp.

Serve

  • I spoon the chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf, being careful not to overfill. I serve warm or chilled, with extra peanut sauce on the side for dipping, perfect for a fun, hands-on meal.

Notes

  • Use any type of lettuce you prefer.
  • Adjust the amount of peanut butter based on your taste.
  • This dish can be served warm or cold.
