Peanut Free Ginger-Scallion Chicken Lettuce Wraps
These wraps are bright, fresh, and packed with bold flavor — the kind of meal that feels light but still genuinely satisfying. Ground chicken gets cooked down with fresh garlic, grated ginger, shredded carrots, and zucchini, then tossed in a savory-sweet sauce made from coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, honey, and arrowroot starch that thickens beautifully and clings to every bite. The whole filling gets spooned into crisp butter lettuce cups and finished with a squeeze of lime and a scatter of fresh cilantro, making each wrap feel almost restaurant-worthy. For anyone navigating peanut concerns, this recipe is a genuinely safe and delicious alternative to the takeout-style lettuce wraps that so often rely on peanut-based sauces or sesame-peanut blends — everything here is built from scratch with clean, straightforward ingredients. The coconut aminos bring that deep, umami-rich flavor without any of the usual worry, and the arrowroot starch does the thickening work that keeps the sauce glossy and cohesive. It comes together in one skillet, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying dinner.
