Equipment

  • Wok or skillet

Ingredients

Minced Chicken

  • 3 Chicken breasts Minced
  • 1 Cup Pickle Juice Optional, I used pickled jalapeño juice
  • 1 tablespoon Canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Minced

Dressing

  • 2 tablespoon Fish Sauce Optional, you could replace with low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon Ginger Paste or grated
  • 2 tablespoon Lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon Chili paste Optional

Garnish

  • ½ Cup Carrots Shredded or Julienned
  • 1 tablespoon Black pepper Ground black pepper
  • 1 Lime In thinly sliced wedges
  • 1 Cup Cilantro Leaves only

Salad

  • ½ Cup Onion Sliced into slivers
  • 1 Head Lettuce Pulled apart
  • ½ Cup Peanuts Unsalted

Instructions

  • If you want to marinate the chicken first do so for at least 15 minutes and separate in a colander saving the juice if you like it juicier.
  • Mix the dressing ingredients in a bowl and set them aside
  • Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat and add the minced chicken breasts and cook until browned, adding the ground black pepper and mixing in.
  • Drain the fat off of it and if you want to make it tangier you can add the marinade back in and reduce just a little, making sure to keep the minced chicken separated by breaking it up and adding the sliced onions in.

As always our Healthy Thai Recipes are as healthy as we can make them.  Your situation is fact dependent and if you have concerns you should check it out with a doctor.  Please let us know if you have suggestions for improvement and customization to your heart's content.  Nutrition facts were calculated by a computer program and only estimates based on all the ingredients included.  Omitting the pickle juice and substituting the low sodium soy sauce for the fish sauce will alter this and make it more Americanized if you wish.  You can delete away ingredients and see values change as needed.
