  • 2 heads butter lettuce
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the chicken as it cooks; drain excess fat.

  • Cover and cook on low heat for 3-4 hours or high heat for 1-2 hours.
  • To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
