Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 head of butter lettuce, leaves separated, washed and patted dry
  • 2 green scallions, thinly sliced

bang bang sauce

  • 3 tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp sriracha
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp low fat mayonnaise 
  • 1 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp fresh lime juice

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, add sauce ingredients. Whisk together until smooth and uniform. Set aside.
  • Bring a skillet to medium high heat. Add in ground chicken. Cook chicken until completely cooked. Turn down heat to medium. Stir in 4 tbsp of bang bang sauce. Stir and cook a few minutes until chicken is evenly coated in sauce. Turn off heat.
  • Add a few spoonfuls of ground chicken to the center of each lettuce leaf. Garnish with scallions. Drizzle chicken with more bang bang sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Thai sweet chili sauce is a key ingredient to the bang bang sauce. Make sure you buy Thai sweet chili and not regular Thai chili sauce (the latter is extremely spicy).
  • To make the sauce healthier, you can substitute half of the light mayonnaise with nonfat plain Greek yogurt. I think the sauce still tastes very flavorful and creamy with this substitution though the color of your sauce will be more of a salmon pink rather than orange.
  • To make the sauce even richer and thicker you can use full fat mayonnaise.
  • Thai sweet chili sauce is more sweet than spicy which is why the sauce also adds sriracha to add a little heat. You can adjust the sriracha if you would like more or less spice.
  • The sauce tastes good cold, room temperature or warmed up. For the drizzle on top of the lettuce wraps, I recommend room temperature or cold.
  • You can serve this dish with your favorite lettuce. I prefer using butter lettuce for lettuce wraps.
