Flavored with cumin and coriander powder and garnished with coriander leaves, this flavorful Indian inspired chicken lettuce wrap recipe will have you clamoring for seconds. The good thing is you can make it in under 20 minutes.
Cook the meat - Add oil to a wok on medium heat. Add the ground chicken, and use a spatula to break it down into small pieces as it cooks. Continue to cook until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Prepare the sauce - Add all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk them together.
Add the remaining ingredients - Add the sauce, onions, ginger, garlic, green onions, and green chilies, along with coriander and cumin powder.
Cook till the onions have softened and turned translucent, and all the liquid has been absorbed - about 4 to 5 minutes. Do a taste test and salt if needed.
The finishing touch - Squeeze lemon juice over the ground chicken and add coriander leaves. Mix well.
Serve - Gently separate the leaves from the lettuce. To serve, place spoonfuls of the chicken mixture in the center of a lettuce leaf. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
Make sure you use organic ground chicken made from 100% breast meat, such as Bell and Evan’s ground chicken from Whole Foods. This ensures that there are no bones in your chicken.
Feel free to substitute chicken with tofu or cottage cheese (paneer)
I don't add salt because soy sauce already contains sodium.
