Ingredients

Instructions

  • Whisk coconut aminos, chicken broth, sesame oil, ginger, and arrowroot together in a bowl and set aside.
  • Next, cut chicken into bite-size pieces, then add it to a large skillet, along with the olive oil. Sauté chicken over medium heat until it's fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Reduce heat to low, then pour in the sauce and stir until the chicken is coated. The sauce should thicken within 10-15 seconds; however, if it doesn't, simply turn the heat back up to medium and continue stirring until all of the chicken is coated in the sauce.
  • Break off a few pieces of lettuce and fill them with chicken. Top chicken with black pepper and sesame seeds and enjoy!

Notes

*This recipe IS Whole30 compliant, as long as you don't make any substitutions
*If you are looking for substitutions, try the following: soy sauce instead of coconut aminos, cornstarch instead of arrowroot, and Bibb/Butter/Boston lettuce because they're all very similar 
*Store chicken in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you're making these ahead of time, store the chicken on its own, then add the lettuce wraps before you're going to actually eat them
