Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece ginger, grated

1 small red bell pepper, diced

1 small carrot, finely diced

1 stalk green onion, chopped (reserve some for garnish)

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/2 tablespoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 head of butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated

Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    Cook Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat if needed.

      Add Veggies: Stir in the diced red bell pepper, carrot, and chopped green onion into the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until vegetables are softened slightly.

        Flavor It Up: In a small bowl, mix sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well until evenly coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes for flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Assemble Wraps: To serve, spoon a generous amount of the chili chicken mixture into a lettuce leaf. Garnish with reserved green onion and chopped cilantro, if desired.

            Enjoy: Roll it up and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors wrapped in crisp lettuce!
