Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken (I've also tested this with ground turkey, ground beef, and Beyond Meat before and they were all really good!)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon garlic, grated
- 1 1/2 cups quick cooking vegetables of your choice diced into ¼-inch pieces (sweet bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, zucchini, etc)
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce, plus more for serving
- 1/2 cup roasted and shelled lightly salted pistachios roughly chopped
- 1 head of lettuce, leaves separated (or 7 ounce container of ready-to-go lettuce boats)
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Then, add ground chicken. Break the chicken apart with a spatula and cook until fully cooked, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add ginger, garlic, and diced vegetables to the same skillet and cook for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the soy sauce and chopped pistachios, mixing well to combine. Cook for another 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld together. Then, remove from heat. (If you notice the pan is looking very dry, add 2 tablespoons of water.)
- Serve the chicken mixture in crisp lettuce leaves, topped with a squeeze of lime juice and a dash of soy sauce if desired.
Notes
Ginger and Garlic Note: To save time, you can buy tubes of ready-to-go ginger and garlic paste. You could also use minced ginger and garlic if you’re not able to grate them - it may just be a little more dry in the pan, so you can add 2 tablespoons of water if needed.
Unroasted Pistachios Note: If you have unroasted pistachios, you can easily toast them for extra flavor. Add the pistachios to a small pan over medium heat. Let toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Toppings Note: You can add some extra pistachios and/or some chow mein noodles on top for extra crunch!
