Ingredients
1 pound ground chicken
1 cup water
1/2 cup red or yellow onion, diced
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 head Bibb lettuce, separated into cups
Directions
Rinse the Bibb lettuce head under cool water and gently separate the leaves, keeping them intact. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and diced onion, breaking up the chicken with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
Drain any excess water from the skillet using a colander or by carefully tilting the pan and pressing the chicken mixture gently with the back of the spoon.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh cilantro, lime juice, and fish sauce until well combined.
To serve, spoon the warm chicken mixture into each lettuce cup and arrange on a serving platter.
