Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
  • For Sauce:
  • ⅔ cup Kikkoman brand gluten free teriyaki sauce*
  • ⅔ cup water
  • 6 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground mustard
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1½ tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • For Lettuce Wraps:
  • 1 cup finely chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 lb. lean ground chicken
  • 3 stalks green onions, chopped (about 3-4 tablespoons)
  • 12-16 butter or iceberg lettuce cups
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice (optional)
Directions
  1. Begin making sauce by combining all sauce ingredients in a small sauce pan. Whisk together to dissolve cornstarch. Heat slightly above medium heat until mixture comes to a low boil. Stir constantly for 4 minutes to thicken. Remove from heat.
  2. To make chicken filling, prepare veggies by chopping carrots, celery, mushrooms, and green onions.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large saucepan/skillet over slightly above medium heat. Once pan is hot enough that a drop of water sizzles, add all veggies but green onions. Stir to coat with oil. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Saute veggies for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
  4. Add chicken to veggie mixture. Break up chicken with a spatula. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Add green onions. Cook ground chicken until cooked through and no longer any traces of pink, about 5-6 minutes.
  5. Drain any liquid from chicken mixture. While mixture is still warm, spoon about ½ cup of sauce over chicken. Stir to coat all mixture. Add additional sauce to mixture as desired.
  6. Spoon brown rice (optional) and chicken mixture into lettuce cups and serve with remaining sauce for drizzling.
Notes
*This has the consistency of a soy sauce. If you can't find a thin teriyaki sauce, just sub gluten free tamari sauce (soy sauce) in its place.
