\nLet me begin by saying that this is a fabulous recipe! The dressing that you pour over the lettuce wraps is so good I could DRINK the stuff! I’m not even kidding. I adapted the sauce from Whitewater Cooks…keeping it a bit cleaner by leaving out a few ingredients but it was still divine. This is a great week night meal, and makes convenient leftovers for lunch the next day.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nChicken Filling Recipe:<\/b><\/div>\n
\n1 tsp coconut oil<\/div>\n
\n2 pound ground chicken (could use ground turkey) <\/div>\n
\n2 crushed garlic cloves<\/div>\n
\n2 tbsp fresh grated ginger<\/div>\n
\n1\/2 bag broccoli slaw<\/div>\n
\n1 pepper sliced thinly<\/div>\n
\n1 bag of bean sprouts<\/div>\n
\n2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce<\/div>\n
\n1\/2 cup chicken stock<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn a pan, melt 1 tsp coconut oil and brown chicken  with the garlic and ginger. Once it is cooked, add the remaining ingredients, cook 3-4 minutes and remove from heat.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nNow for the piece de resistance! The dressing!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nDressing<\/b><\/div>\n
\nIn a blender or bullet combine the following:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n1\/2 cup all-natural peanut butter<\/div>\n
\n1 lime juiced<\/div>\n
\n2 tsp sesame oil<\/div>\n
\n3 tbsp sweet chili sauce<\/div>\n
\n4 tbsp rice vinegar<\/div>\n
\n4 tbsp soy sauce<\/div>\n
\n 2 garlic cloves<\/div>\n
\n2 tbsp fresh grated ginger<\/div>\n
\n1\/2 bunch cilantro<\/div>\n
\n1 tbsp olive oil<\/div>\n
\n1 tsp Sriracha (optional)<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nNow, who really buys iceburg lettuce anymore when there are so many other varietals (grapes only??)? I for one, do not. However, I did make an exception this time, for the sake of the pictures and you know what…it was quite nice.  The leaves are large enough that the filling doesn’t spill out. I did try some filling in a romaine leaf the next day, and it was still delicious…just messier. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nToppings can be whatever you like, but here I had green onions, peanuts and more fresh cilantro.<\/div>\n
\n And then, just fill that lettuce leaf up with the chicken mixture, sprinkle on cilantro, green onions and peanuts, and drizzle a good amount of the peanut sauce and BAM…you have  a clean and healthy dinner \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
