Stir-Fried Chicken in Lettuce Wraps
Instructions
1
Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and cilantro in a small bowl and set aside.
2
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
3
Toss in the bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the ground chicken or turkey and sauté for 7 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks, until cooked through.
5
Stir in the soy sauce mixture and salt and cook for 2 minutes until the juices evaporate and the filling is nicely coated. This step is important. Letting the liquid evaporate concentrates the flavor and keeps your lettuce cups from getting soggy
6
Spoon the filling into lettuce cups and serve immediately. To eat, just roll the lettuce around the filling and enjoy it like a little burrito.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Prep Your Lettuce Cups Properly 🥬Chill lettuce leaves in ice water for 15 minutes before serving to make them pliable and crisp, preventing tearing when filling and eating.
- Don't Skip the Mise en Place 🎯Mince all aromatics (ginger, garlic, onion, bell pepper) and have them ready before cooking—ground chicken cooks quickly and waits for no one, ensuring nothing burns.
- Break Ground Chicken into Small Pieces 🍗Use a wooden spoon to actively break apart the chicken as it cooks, creating small, evenly-cooked morsels that distribute better in lettuce wraps and absorb sauce beautifully.
- Balance Your Sauce Intensity 🍯Add honey gradually while tasting, as a little goes a long way—the sweetness should complement the soy sauce and aromatics without overpowering the fresh flavors of the vegetables.
- Finish with Fresh Cilantro Last ✨Stir cilantro in during the final 30 seconds off the heat to preserve its bright, peppery notes and prevent them from becoming bitter or dull.
