Creating Teriyaki Chicken Lettuce Wraps is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prep the Lettuce: Carefully separate the leaves from the head of lettuce, wash them, and pat dry. Set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the diced bell peppers and shredded carrots. Cook for an additional 3–4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
