Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup unsweetened peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons confectioners-style keto sweetener
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons unseasoned rice wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 16 large butter lettuce leaves
- For garnish:
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts or sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
Instructions
- Season the chicken strips with salt and black pepper.
- Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for about 6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Add minced ginger and garlic; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, coconut aminos, keto sweetener, lime juice, and rice wine vinegar until smooth.
- Add chicken broth to the skillet and scrape up browned bits.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the peanut sauce.
- Simmer for about 6 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
- Spoon chicken mixture into butter lettuce leaves.
- Garnish with green onions, peanuts or sesame seeds, and diced red bell pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store chicken filling separately from lettuce for best texture.
- Add a splash of broth when reheating if sauce thickens too much.
- Substitute almond or sunflower seed butter if desired.
- Double-layer lettuce leaves to prevent tearing.
- Serve over cauliflower rice for a bowl-style option.
