Instructions
 

Prepare the Blueberry Glaze:

    - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, honey (or maple syrup), and apple cider vinegar. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the blueberries start to burst and release their juices.

      - Add the cornstarch slurry and a pinch of salt, stirring continuously until the glaze thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

        Cook the Chicken Filling:

          - Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent (about 3-4 minutes).

            - Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.

              - Stir in the bell pepper, grated carrot, and mushrooms. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

                - Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.

                  - Stir in the chopped cilantro just before removing from heat.

                    Assemble the Wraps:

                      - Take one lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling into the center of each leaf.

                        - Drizzle some of the blueberry glaze over the chicken filling for added flavor.

                          - Garnish with chopped green onions and additional cilantro if desired.

                            Serve:

                              - Serve the wraps immediately, allowing everyone to fold the lettuce around the filling and enjoy! The combination of savory chicken with the sweet and tangy blueberry glaze is sure to be a hit.
