Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, finely diced

1 carrot, grated

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)

1/4 cup sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 head of romaine or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated

Chopped green onions and cilantro for garnish

Optional toppings: chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, lime wedges

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics:

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing for about 2 minutes until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.

      Cook the Chicken:

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

          Add Veggies:

            Stir in the diced red bell pepper and grated carrot. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the veggies soften slightly.

              Make the Sauce:

                In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Pour this mixture over the chicken and veggies. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

                  Simmer:

                    Let the mixture simmer for about 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

                      Assemble Wraps:

                        To serve, take a lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture into the center. Top with chopped green onions, cilantro, and any optional toppings like chopped peanuts or sesame seeds.

                          Enjoy:

                            Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top if desired, wrap the lettuce around the filling, and enjoy your delicious Sweet Chili Chicken Lettuce Wraps!
