Spicy Chicken Lettuce Cups

My lunch menu is usually so bland, I decided to amp it up a bit by making these super low carb bundles of deliciousness!

Spicy Chicken Lettuce Cups

1 lb ground chicken (or turkey)
1 red pepper chopped
1 tbsp chopped green onion
18 butter lettuce leaves
2 tbsp Sweet Thai Chili Sauce (could use hoisin but I was out)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp mild curry powder
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp coriander
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tbsp chicken stock

So start by browning the chicken and using the stock to keep it moist, add sesame oil, garlic, onion and pepper. Cook for a little while, then add all your spices.  Allow to cook for 5 minutes, if it is dry, add more stock.  Remove from heat and prepare butter lettuce leaves by washing and drying them lightly.  Put about 1-2 tbsp meat mix in each lettuce cup, depending on size of leaves, etc, but meat mixture should be split 3 ways, and each person gets 6 leaves. Roll up gently and drizzle with a small amount of chili sauce.  Enjoy! These are spicy and very flavourful!  They are amazing and just the thing to kick your afternoon into high gear!
