• servings: 10 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken or ground turkey

5 large garlic cloves, minced

¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup honey

2 tbsp ketchup

1 tsp rice vinegar

¼ tsp sesame oil

½ tsp red pepper flakes, more to taste

1 bunch green onions, diced

1 head green lettuce, washed and dried (may use butter or iceberg lettuce)

1 tsp sesame seeds

Directions

Carefully, tear lettuce leaves at the bottom of the root. Rinse under water then allow to completely dry.

In a large rimmed skillet set over medium heat, cook ground chicken. Break ground chicken up into little pieces using a spatula. Cook until no longer pink and all the liquid has cooked off; about 6-9 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, ketchup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes.

Pour garlic sesame mixture into skillet. Toss the mixture together until chicken takes on the color of the sauce. The skillet should come to a simmer, cook until most of the liquid is thick and absorbed by the chicken.

Spoon lettuce cups with chicken. Garnish with diced green onions and sesame seeds.
