Method
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add grated garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart as it browns, until fully cooked with light caramelization for flavor.
- Sprinkle in the Thai seasoning and stir well to coat the chicken. Add soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and chicken broth, then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture becomes glossy and slightly saucy.
- Stir in the shredded carrots, cabbage, and green onions and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until just slightly softened but still crisp.
- Spoon the chicken mixture into lettuce leaves and top with cilantro, crushed peanuts, a squeeze of lime, and sriracha if desired.

Notes
- Flavor Shortcut: The Thai seasoning delivers peanut-forward, savory flavor without needing a separate peanut sauce. Sub with 1 tbsp peanut butter powder, 1/2 tbsp ginger, and 1/2 tbsp garlic powder for a similar result.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
- Protein Swap: Ground turkey works just as well as chicken.
- Add Heat: Add extra sriracha or chili paste to taste.
- Make It Heartier: Serve the filling over rice or noodles if desired.
- Storage: Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently with a splash of broth.
