You’ll find these tasty morsels on the menu of most swank Chinese restaurants, but ours have been adapted for a Paleo diet. Soy sauce is a fermented food, high in sodium and not particularly healthy. We’ve substituted garlic and tahini paste for flavor.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked, shredded free-range, organic chicken
• 1/2 cup sliced green onions
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons tahini paste
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 head Bibb lettuce
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Lemon juice, for seasoning

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the shredded chicken, onion, carrots, almonds and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. In a smaller bowl, mix the remaining ingredients to make a flavorful dressing.
Fold the dressing into the chicken mixture. Season with lemon juice if desired. Wrap the chicken mixture in lettuce leaves to serve
