P. F. Chang’s Style Lettuce Wraps

Easy, super flavorful & light dinner! Fun fact: I worked at a P.F. Chang’s as a waitress in high school and LOVED it :)

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Total time: 35 minutes

Servings: 5-7

Notes: Low-carb, high-protein, lasts in fridge up to 5 days.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken (I use 93% lean)

• 1 small yellow onion (diced)

• 1 cup white mushrooms (diced very small)

• 4 cloves garlic (diced)

• 1 8oz can water chestnuts (diced)

• 1/2 cup green onion (chopped)

• white sesame seeds (for garnish)

• lettuce cups
  
  Hoisin sauce:

• 1/3 cup coconut aminos (can sub soy sauce or tamari)

• 1 tbsp sesame oil

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar

• 2 tbsp natural peanut butter

• 1 1/2 tbsp honey

• 1 tbsp sriracha

• pinch of salt & pepper

Instructions

1. Add 2 tbsp of oil to a pan on medium-high heat, along with the onions and mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the onions become translucent. Then, add the garlic.

2. Next, add the ground chicken and break up the meat. Cook for about 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is almost cooked through.

3. Prepare the hoisin sauce by combining all the sauce's ingredients in a small bowl.

4. Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture, and add water, chestnuts, and half of the green onions. Cook for 2-3 more minutes. Plate the dish by spooning the chicken mixture over some lettuce boats or butter lettuce. Garnish with green onions, white sesame seeds, and Sriracha (optional).

TJ’s Protein Strawberry Chia Pudding

We all love a simple Trader Joe’s recipe, especially when it’s seasonal. This strawberry chia pudding packs protein, healthy omega-3s and tons of fiber. All the summer strawberry flavors please!
