Celery Free Ginger-Scallion Chicken Lettuce Wraps

These wraps hit every note you want in a handheld meal — savory, a little sweet, bright with fresh ginger and lime, and satisfying enough to feel like a real dinner. The filling comes together in one skillet with ground chicken, shredded carrots, and diced zucchini, all coated in a glossy sauce made from coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey. Arrowroot starch thickens everything beautifully, so each spoonful clings together instead of sliding out of the lettuce cup. The layering of fresh grated ginger with the white scallion parts early in the cook builds a deeply fragrant base, while the green tops get stirred in off the heat to keep that fresh, oniony bite. Butter lettuce leaves make the perfect vessel — cool, crisp, and just sturdy enough to hold a generous scoop of filling. A squeeze of lime right before eating pulls the whole thing together with a pop of acidity that makes every bite feel alive. This is the kind of recipe that looks impressive on the table but comes together with minimal fuss and a very short ingredient list.
