- 1/2 cup onions, diced
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. ground chicken (or ground turkey)
- 1 cup mushrooms, diced
- 1 Tbsp. garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. ginger (or 1 - 2 inches of fresh ginger)

- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 tsp. sriracha
- 5 oz. can water chestnuts, diced

- Bibb, Butter, or Romain lettuce leaves
- Optional: diced nuts
Sauté onions in oil for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chicken, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper.
Chop the chicken in the pan with a flat-edged spatula to break up the chicken into small pieces as it cooks. The cooked chicken should be a very light golden brown.
In a small bowl, combine coconut aminos, sesame oil, and sriracha. Pour sauce over cooked chicken.
Add water chestnuts and green onions. Continue to cook on low heat until everything is hot.
Serve on lettuce leaves with optional nuts. Enjoy!
