Orange Ground Chicken Lettuce Cups
These orange ground chicken lettuce cups are the perfect high-protein meal! They’re gluten-free, soy-free, and so simple to make!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup orange juice
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp chicken broth
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 thumb ginger
- 2 tsp arrowroot starch
- 2 tsp coconut sugar
- salt and pepper
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 tbsp green onion, chopped
To serve
- Butter lettuce leaves (about 14-16, varies depending on the size)
- 1 cup Cooked jasmine white rice
Instructions
- Using a mixing cup or small bowl, combine the orange juice, coconut aminos, chicken broth, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, arrowroot, coconut sugar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk well and set aside.
- Place a large pan over medium heat on the stove. Add the ground chicken and light season with salt and pepper. Crumble to cook until cooked through.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the sauce. Allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes until thick, stirring to coat the chicken. Turn off the heat and add green onion.
- Assemble the wraps by layer 2-3 leaves of butter lettuce (this will vary depending on the size of the leaves; you may be able to get away with just one) and add about ¼ cup of cooked rice. Top with about ¼-⅓ cup of orange chicken. You'll have enough for about 8 wraps, or 2 per serving, but this will vary depending on the size of your lettuce. Repeat and serve fresh!

Notes
-
- Don't want a wrap? Serve it in a bowl! If wraps aren't your thing, serve the chicken in a bowl with sides like rice and broccoli.
-
- Make it grain-free with cauliflower rice. You can either mix your rice with cauliflower rice or omit the rice altogether.
