    • 4 cloves garlic, mashed⁣
    • 1 tablespoon ground ginger⁣
    • 1 8 oz can water chestnuts, diced⁣
    • ¼ cup chopped green onion⁣
    • 1 tablespoon avocado oil⁣
    • ½ head butter lettuce⁣
    ⁣FOR THE SAUCE:

    1. Sauté the onion, garlic and ginger in the avocado oil, about 3 minutes.

    3. While that’s cooking, prepare the sauce by whisking together above sauce ingredients.
    4. Pour the sauce into the chicken mixture and then let it cook for another few minutes, so the sauce thickens.

    6. Fill your lettuce cups with the chicken mixture and enjoy!
