A lightened up, dairy-free, gluten-free, healthier version that is super easy to make and really tasty!

I love ALL KINDS of Lettuce wraps! Lettuce wraps are the perfect, low-carb option to hold a good amount of your favorite filling without the risk of everything falling apart!

In this chicken recipe I’m not using the traditional ingredients in say ‘the classic PF Changs’ recipe as I want to keep with the low calorie, dairy and gluten free sauces and I’m not actually a huge fan of Hoisin sauce or Sesame Oil.

In my recipe below I’ve used my favorite Coconut Aminos which are similar in color and consistency to a light soy sauce, making it an easy substitute in Asian inspired recipes. It’s not as rich as traditional soy sauce and has a milder, sweeter flavor which is why I’ve used both soy sauce and Aminos in this recipe.

I’ve added some Bok choy and Yellow Capsicum for the added texture and of course the added health benefits. Unlike most other fruits and vegetables, Bok choy contains the mineral selenium which acts as a powerful antioxidant and can help boost your immune system.

Ingredients

  • 500gr Chicken Mince
  • 1 Cup Baby Bok Choy chopped
  • ½ cup diced yellow capsicum
  • 1 Small white onion diced
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 10gr fresh ginger diced
  • 2 tbsp Gluten Free soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Aminos
  • 1 small Medium heat Red Chilli (Optional)
  • 2 bulbs Spring onion chopped
