PF Chang’s Inspired Chicken Lettuce Wrap Salad (no added sugar)

 Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 pound organic ground chicken
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1/4 cup hoisin sauce sugar-free/gluten-free (click here for recipe)
• 2 tablespoons Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• Finely ground sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/2  tablespoons freeze dried chives (or 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion)
• 1 container of sweet baby butter leaf lettuce
• 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Hot Sauce, optional (see recipe notes below)

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the ground chicken until browned, about 3-5 minutes, crumbling it as it cooks; drain excess fat.
2. Add garlic, onion, hoisin sauce, Liquid Aminos, apple cider vinegar, and ginger. Cook until the onions are translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
3. Stir in chives and season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
4. Serve the chicken mixture over chopped butter and romaine lettuce.
5. Top with your favorite hot sauce (see recipe notes below) Enjoy!

Recipe Notes:

• For an extra burst of flavor and spice, top the salad with your favorite hot sauce, such as sriracha, or my sugar-free favorite, G Hughes Sugar Free Thai Chili Sauce.
• The homemade hoisin sauce can be prepared in advance and stored for use in this recipe.
• You can also serve as traditional lettuce wraps by spooning several tablespoons of chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf.
