Whole 30 Whole30 Thai Basil-Lime Chicken Lettuce Cups

Bright, herby, and packed with bold Southeast Asian flavors, these lettuce cups are the kind of weeknight dinner that feels way more exciting than the effort involved. Ground chicken gets cooked down with red bell pepper, carrot, fresh ginger, and scallion greens before being tossed in a punchy sauce made from coconut aminos, fish sauce, and double-hit lime — both juice and zest. The whole thing comes together in a single skillet in under 20 minutes, which makes it a serious weeknight weapon. Coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce seamlessly, keeping the umami depth without any of the off-plan ingredients that make Asian-inspired dishes tricky to navigate. Folding in a full cup of fresh Thai basil off the heat is the move that takes this from good to genuinely craveable — it wilts just enough to release that anise-y fragrance without losing its character. Butter lettuce cups keep things light and naturally grain-free, and optional cashews add a satisfying crunch if you want a little texture contrast. This one serves four and is just as good for meal prep as it is straight from the pan.
