*Warning- this is NOT a peanut free recipe, although it can be easily adapted to be nut free
My family loves these delicious lettuce wraps. My favorite part: they take 15 minutes MAX to make from pan to dinner table! That's thanks to a delicious sauce made by Wildtree foods that eliminates a good portion of the work. I use ground chicken extra lean and I threw in some kale to increase the nutritional value of the dish. I added crushed peanuts to the dish, although these can easily be skipped if there's a nut allergy in the house. The Thai sauce by Wildtree foods is peanut free, so it's safe for anyone with nut allergies. I like Wildtree sauces because they're organic, natural, and preservative free. Even my token "picky eater" ate these- along with the kale- and asked for seconds.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground extra lean chicken
1/4 cup peanuts hand crushed
large handful cilantro
iceburg lettuce separated into "cups"
1/3 cup Wildtree Pad Thai sauce
two leaves kale chopped finely
Brown ground chicken and drain any excess liquid. Add crushed/chopped peanuts and kale. Cook til kale is dark green and "wilted" about 2 minutes. Add Pad Thai sauce and stir til well coated. Allow the mixture to warm completely through. Remove from heat and toss with finely chopped cilantro. Fill Lettuce cups with chicken mixture and serve warm.
Hope your family enjoys this as much as mine did! I served ours with fresh carrot sticks and mushrooms sauteed in a little bit of teriyaki sauce (also Wildtree brand).
