Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
3 cloves garlic ,minced
3 Tablespoons chili paste
2 Tablespoon rice vinegar (may omit if you don't have it on hand)
1/3 cup coconut aminos
2 Tablespoon erythritol (or sweetener of your choice)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for extra heat)
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (freshly minced gingers work great as well)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon sea salt + more to taste
1 cup cashews
1 head lettuce

Instructions

In a large skillet, cook ground chicken and garlic over medium-high heat. Cook until garlic is tender and chicken is cooked through.
Turn heat down to medium-low. Stir in chili paste, vinegar, coconut aminos, erythritol, red pepper flakes, ground ginger, black pepper, salt and cashews. Cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until sauce is combined and cashews turn color and are slightly tender but still a bit of a crunch in them.
Spoon filling into lettuce, add additional coconut aminos and red pepper flakes or green onion, if desired. Enjoy!
