These little lettuce cups are the kind of light, satisfying meal that feels like a treat without any of the heaviness — crisp butter lettuce cradling a warmly spiced chicken and zucchini filling that comes together in under 20 minutes. The filling is built around ground chicken cooked with fresh sage, turmeric, ginger, and a bright hit of lemon juice, which means every bite is aromatic and clean-tasting rather than muddy or rich. For anyone navigating a mold detox protocol, the ingredient list here is genuinely reassuring — no vinegars, no aged or fermented anything, no leftovers-style shortcuts, just fresh produce and straightforward spices. Garlic-infused olive oil does the heavy lifting on flavor without requiring raw garlic, and the lemon juice is squeezed fresh rather than pulled from a bottle that's been sitting open. The zucchini adds a subtle sweetness and a little body to the filling so it doesn't feel sparse, even though the whole dish is remarkably clean. Serves four, and it comes together in one skillet, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying dinner.

Dried black pepper can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the trace amount used here is so small that it is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Heat the garlic-infused olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
