Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Ground chicken, shredded cabbage and Asian flavors come together and get wrapped in crisp lettuce to make these Chicken Lettuce Wraps, a savory appetizer or light weekend lunch.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 medium onion, chopped

Instructions
- Add the ground chicken to a wok (or large skillet) and cook over medium high heat for about 4 or 5 minutes. Add a tablespoon of canola oil if the meat is lean and becomes dry while cooking. Cook until browned, then add the garlic, ginger and onion. Cook another 3 minutes until the onion is soft.
