• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 inch fresh ginger
• 3 tbsp coconut aminos

Method

1. Dice the chicken thighs into small strips. Mince garlic and ginger. Julienne carrots and chop scallions.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add garlic, ginger, and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until fragrant and slightly tender.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, sriracha, honey, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to make the sauce.
5. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly and chicken is cooked through.
6. While the sauce simmers, prepare lettuce leaves by washing and patting dry.
7. To serve, spoon the spicy chicken mixture into lettuce leaves, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.
8. Wrap and enjoy immediately for a fresh, paleo-friendly Korean-style dinner.
