Ingredients

4 servings

For the chicken

1 lb ground chicken
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp fresh turmeric, peeled and finely grated
1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp sea salt

For the sauce

3 tbsp coconut aminos
Ingredient note
Coconut aminos is a common stand-in for soy sauce on a candida diet. It does carry a little sugar from coconut sap, but this recipe uses only about 2 1/4 teaspoons per serving, which is likely fine.
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp sesame oil

For serving

1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced into half-moons
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, lime juice, and sesame oil until combined. Set aside.
2
Heat the coconut oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, for 5–6 minutes, until no pink remains and the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
