Kung Pao Lettuce Cups (GF)

(4 servings)

 

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. Avocado Oil

1 lb. Ground Chicken (see note)

1 Medium Red Bell Pepper, fine dice

4 Green Onions, green and white sections separated and thinly sliced

½ cup Cashews, chopped

½ cup Teriyaki Sauce

to taste Kosher Salt

1 head Bib Lettuce, separated

Directions:

Heat a large wok type pan or skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.  Add oil and warm.  Now add chicken.  Cook, stirring and breaking up the meat as it cooks.  Cook until chicken is browned and moisture has evaporated (4-5 minutes).  Add the bell pepper, whites of green onion and cashews; cook, stirring, until the pepper has softened slightly (2-3 minutes).  Stir in the teriyaki sauce and toss to coat.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced by about a quarter (2-3 minutes).  Sprinkle in the green of the onion and stir.  Taste and season with salt as desired.  Transfer mixture to a warm bowl and serve with the lettuce.

Notes:              You can use all white ground chicken or the mixture of white and dark chicken.  You could also use ground turkey of either mixture if ground chicken is hard to find.

Notes:              Because it is gluten-free, double check your ingredients to be sure they are GF.
