These low carb chicken lettuce wraps make for a delicious and healthy lunch or dinner option! The lettuce wraps offer a satisfying crunch while keeping carbs low and the filling consists of ground chicken which is paired with crushed cashews and a flavorful and delicious sauce to make a light and nutritious meal!
Begin by adding oil to a medium skillet on medium-high heat. When your oil is hot, add in your ground chicken and then season with a small amount of salt and pepper, to taste. Use a meat masher or a wooden utensil to break the ground chicken apart and cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken appears cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 F. Then lower your heat.
In a small container add in your chicken bone broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil and corn starch. Then use a small whisk to whisk your ingredients together until well combined.
Add in your sauce mixture into the skillet. Mix until the chicken is completely submerged in the sauce and let simmer for a couple of minutes until your sauce begins to thicken a bit.
Add in your crushed cashews and diced green onions and stir until just combined. Remove from heat and then evenly spoon the mixture into the lettuce wraps. Garnish with sesame seeds if using, serve and enjoy!
Hint: You can also prepare the sauce, crush the cashews and dice the green onions before you begin to make things flow easier as you cook.
