Heat your skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil, waiting until it shimmers and starts to smoke slightly.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and is cooked through.
Push the cooked chicken to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant and slightly translucent.
Pour in soy sauce and rice vinegar, stirring well to coat the chicken evenly. Let the mixture cook for another 2 minutes until it’s glossy and fragrant.
While the filling cools slightly, prepare your lettuce leaves on a plate, ensuring they’re dry and sturdy enough to hold the filling without tearing.
Spoon the juicy chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf, packing it gently but firmly.
Top each wrap with crushed nuts or crispy shallots for a crunchy contrast.
Serve the wraps immediately with lime wedges on the side, allowing everyone to squeeze fresh lime juice over their wraps for a bright, tangy flavor.
Enjoy your crunchy, vibrant lettuce wraps while the lettuce remains crisp and the filling is juicy and flavorful.
