Chicken Lettuce Wrap
Ingredients
1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, finely diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 carrot, grated
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (check for low-carb options)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Iceberg lettuce leaves, washed and separated
Optional toppings: sliced green onions, chopped peanuts, cilantro leaves
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and onions are translucent.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the diced chicken to the skillet. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Add the red bell pepper and grated carrot to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Spoon the chicken mixture onto individual iceberg lettuce leaves, using them as wraps.
Optional: Top each lettuce wrap with sliced green onions, chopped peanuts, and cilantro leaves for added flavor and crunch.
