Best Minced Chicken With Vegetables In Lettuce Cups Recipes

CHICKEN LETTUCE CUPS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add the chicken, onions, ginger, garlic and vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned, stirring frequently to break down the chicken, about 10 minutes.
• Whisk together the ingredients for the sauce. If you're using fresh ginger, I recommend blending in the blender to make sure the sauce is smooth without any chunks of ginger.
• Transfer the sauce to the skillet (leaving about 1/4 cup for serving, if desired) and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to make sure the chicken mixture is well coated by the sauce.
• To serve, scoop the chicken mixture on to the lettuce. Add peanuts, extra sauce and extra green onions, if desired.
