Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey Chicken Lettuce Wraps
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, honey, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth. Set it aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken with a pinch of kosher salt and cook for about 7-10 minutes until well-browned.
  3. After draining excess fat, stir in the chopped walnuts and garlic paste. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour your prepared buffalo honey sauce into the skillet with the chicken mixture and stir well. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Remove from heat and prepare your lettuce leaves on a platter. Spoon the chicken mixture into each leaf and top with your choice of toppings.
