I don’t know about you, but I love Asian Food. Since going Paleo AIP, we don’t really go to Asian restaurants anymore. I don’t want it all the time, but every now & then I just have to have it!

Now that school is starting back, I love to make quick & easy weeknight dinners. Since we love Asian food and don’t have it often, I decided to make an AIP Paleo version of Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps.

This is perfect for weeknight dinners when you are short on time & also great to pack for lunch.  Just put the chicken mixture in a hot thermos such as this & serve the lettuce in a container to keep cold such as these. 

Cut up 1 lb. of chicken breasts or thighs into cubes. You could also use ground chicken or turkey.

Finely chop up a can of water chestnuts, 1 can of organic mushrooms, 1 sm onion, garlic, ginger & a couple of carrots.

Put everything in a pan including the Coconut Aminos & cook until chicken is done. It’s hard to make Asian food without soy sauce, but since I found Coconut Amino’s, it has been a game-changer! If you want to read more about Coconut Amino’s health benefits, read it here.

Serve on Romaine Lettuce leaves & garnish with scallions if desired.  See how simple that was & so tasty.  And what’s best is it is 15 yr old approved!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb organic chicken breasts or thighs – cubed
• 1-2 Tbs. olive oil
• 1 sm onion – can use green onions also
• 1-2 cloves garlic -minced
