Ingredients

  • 1 butter lettuce head
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves roughly chopped
  • 1/2 pound ground chicken
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves

Optional garnish:

  • Fresh cilantro
  • Thinly sliced carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions

  • Carefully separate the head of lettuce, so you have lettuce cups.
  • In the skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the soy sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Add the basil leaves and cook for another 30 seconds, until they are just fragrant.
  • Spoon the chicken mixture into the lettuce cups, top with the cilantro, carrots, and peanuts, if using, and serve.
