Sesame Free Ginger-Scallion Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Crisp butter lettuce cups loaded with savory ground chicken, bright vegetables, and a glossy sauce that clings to every bite — this is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels way more impressive than the effort required. The filling gets its depth from fresh ginger, garlic, and turmeric, while shredded carrots and diced zucchini add color and a satisfying texture. Coconut aminos stand in for traditional soy-based sauces, delivering that rich, umami-forward flavor without any wheat or hidden sesame — a common culprit in Asian-inspired dishes that can make label-reading feel like a full-time job. The arrowroot-thickened sauce pulls everything together beautifully, coating the chicken and vegetables in a glossy, lightly sweet glaze. Scallions are used two ways — the white parts cooked into the filling for savory backbone, and the green tops stirred in at the end for a fresh, peppery finish. A squeeze of lime right before serving lifts the whole dish and keeps it tasting vibrant. These wraps come together in one skillet, making cleanup just as easy as the cooking itself.
