Xanthan Gum Free Ginger-Scallion Chicken Lettuce Wraps

These lettuce wraps are bright, fresh, and packed with bold flavor — gingery ground chicken and tender vegetables tucked into crisp butter lettuce cups with a tangy, glossy sauce that pulls everything together. The filling gets its savory depth from coconut aminos, fresh ginger, and garlic, while shredded carrots and zucchini add color and a satisfying bite. Many store-bought sauces and seasoning blends sneak in thickeners like xanthan gum, but this recipe keeps things clean by using arrowroot starch to give the sauce its silky, clingy texture — no gums needed at any step. Every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to source, so you're not hunting through specialty aisles or squinting at labels. A squeeze of lime and a handful of fresh cilantro at the end lift the whole dish and make it feel restaurant-worthy. These are the kind of wraps that disappear fast, so consider doubling the filling if you're feeding a crowd.
