Low Carb Chicken Teriyaki Lettuce Cups
Lettuce cups are always a good idea!!!🥬 Here’s a low-carb meal you can make in 10 minutes- it’s simple, delicious, and nutrient + protein packed!! To meal prep it, just set the lettuce leaves aside and assemble them when ready to eat. This can actually be enjoyed hot or cold!
Ingredients
- 1 package ground chicken (about 8-10 ounces)
- 8 pieces romaine lettuce
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 zucchini, shredded
- 2-3 tablespoons Teriyaki sauce
- 1/4 cup crushed peanuts, to top
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots, to top
- 1/4 cup cilantro, to top
- Seasonings: garlic powder, sesame seeds, salt & pepper
Instructions
- Prep your veggies, by dicing your onion and washing your romaine. If your carrots aren't shredded yet, I recommend shredding before cooking so your food will be served warm!
- In a skillet on medium heat, drizzle a little bit of olive oil and cook your ground chicken with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Add in your diced onion and shredded zucchini. I shredded the zucchini right into the pan for fewer dishes! ;)
- Saute for about 5-7 minutes or until the meat is cooked through. Drizzle on your teriyaki sauce and mix well with your chicken, onion, and zucchini.
- Once cooked through, it's time to plate!
- Scoop your cooked filling into each lettuce cup leaving enough room for toppings! Top with shredded carrots, sesame seeds, and finely chopped cilantro! Enjoy! xx
