Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 ½ cups broccoli slaw (or another pre-made slaw)
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeds removed and diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoon peanut butter
  • ¼ cup sweet chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha (optional)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • salt + black pepper to taste
  • butter or iceberg lettuce

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add ground chicken and cook until no longer pink and begins to brown, breaking up with wooden spoon throughout. It should take about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add coleslaw mix, green onions, red bell pepper, ginger and garlic and cook for another 3 minutes. Add sweet chili garlic sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing to coat everything. If using sriracha for extra heat, also stir it in.
  • Remove from heat and add cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. Place spoonful of chicken mixture on lettuce and form into a taco/wrap.

Notes

  • Use quality lettuce that is fresh like iceberg or butter lettuce. You will no lettuce is bad if is discolored, has a rotten smell or a moist texture.
  • Adapt the recipe to what is in your fridge. You could use veggies like carrots, celery, shredded Brussels sprouts, zucchini, summer squash or bok choy.
  • Adjust the spice level based off your preferences. The recipe as currently constructed is mild.
  • Leftovers of the chicken mixture will store well in the fridge for 2-3 days.
