Chicken Lettuce Cups

*Coconut is technically a tree nut, but is more often than not excluded from the elimination diet "nut" guidelines, because most people who suffer from a nut allergy are not also allergic to coconut. It is sort of in it's own class. Check with your allergist or doctor just to be sure.

This is a literal 10 minute lunch that requires minimal ingredients and is satisfying and healthy. Coconut aminos give this flavor so, if you're not able to eat coconut*, I'd skip this one unless you have some other salty compliant sauce-y situation you can swap the aminos for. Plain ground chicken isn't that awesome. Add any crunchy veg to this dish, and top with chives/green onion/hot sauce for more flavor.
