Instructions
 

Make the Blueberry Glaze:

    - In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt.

      - Bring to a simmer over medium heat, mashing the blueberries gently with a fork.

        - Let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly. If using cornstarch, add the mixture and stir until the glaze reaches your desired consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

          Prepare the Chicken Filling:

            - In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

              - Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.

                - Stir in the diced red bell pepper, grated carrot, and chopped green onions. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

                  - Pour in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and cook for another minute. Remove from heat.

                    Assemble the Lettuce Wraps:

                      - Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf.

                        - Drizzle a spoonful of blueberry glaze over the chicken filling.

                          - Garnish with additional chopped green onions and fresh cilantro.

                            Serving:

                              - Serve the wraps with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing. Enjoy your delicious and healthy chicken lettuce wraps with a sweet and tangy blueberry glaze!
