1 pound ground chicken
1 cup chopped onion
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup canned water chestnuts, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1 head butter/bibb lettuce
- For the sauce:
5 tbsp soy sauce I prefer low-sodium soy sauce. Can also use coconut aminos.
2 tbsp natural peanut butter I use Smucker’s Natural
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp hot sauce or Sriracha
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp rice wine vinegar Be sure to use regular rice wine vinegar for keto and low-carb. Seasoned rice wine vinegar has added sugar.

salt and pepper to taste
