Pistachio Free Asian-Style Chicken Lettuce Wraps
These vibrant, hand-held wraps are the kind of weeknight dinner that feels way more exciting than the effort involved. The filling comes together in a single skillet ā ground chicken, earthy shiitake mushrooms, crunchy water chestnuts, and sweet carrot all coated in a glossy sauce built from coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, honey, and a double hit of fresh ginger. That sauce is the secret weapon: bright, savory, and just a little tangy without leaning on any soy or ingredients that tend to sneak nuts into the picture. Butter lettuce leaves stand in as the "wrap," keeping things light and naturally gluten-free while giving you that satisfying crunch in every bite. A squeeze of lime and a scatter of fresh cilantro at the end pull the whole thing together with a pop of freshness. This is the kind of recipe that disappears fast at the table, so you might want to plan for seconds.
