Move over P.F. Chang’s because this is bursting with flavor! I made this with turkey instead of chicken because that’s what I had on hand (chicken is typically found in this dish however, I think either work as they are both poultry and generally have the same flavor). Butter lettuce is the absolute best choice for this because it’s so flexible and doesn’t rip apart. It really holds it’s shape and makes the perfect vessel for this scrumptious savory filling. The ginger, lemon, onion and coconut aminos are absolutely dynamite!
This dish comes together in one skillet (which is amazing because I hate doing dishes!). The key to maximizing the flavor on this one is to not skip on the fresh lemon and cilantro! They add such freshness and vibrancy… YUM YUM YUM! This dish is Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) and Candida friendly!
