Updated post. Gifted product. We don’t have a clue what goes into preprepared foods nowadays. As a result, if we are able to create our own dishes then it makes sense to do so. This way we can ensure tasty, healthy ingredients in what we eat. Mince meat or chicken is one of those iffy areas. It looks okay, but do you really know what’s in there? I discovered that using a mincer was an easy healthier and often cheaper way to make food using minced products. My Thai Minced Chicken In Lettuce contain fresh ingredients for a tasty and healthy dish. This post features the Eddingtons Mincerpro!
Thai Minced Chicken In Lettuce
With the mincer, I control all ingredients within my recipes including fats which is great and helps me keep my meals healthier than if I was using shop bought mince.
The Eddingtons Mincerpro, is simple to use and clean. It also enabled me to make the most amazing Thai inspired recipe EVER!!!!! If you love Thai you will love this, even if you don’t you’ll probably love this as it is literally bursting with flavour, super simple to make and tastes in a word AMAZING!!!!!
How To Use the Mincer
Simply clean the machine and you are ready to get mincing. The machine can be taken apart and washed in a dishwasher which is very convenient. Ready to use it? Simply pop pieces of chicken breast pieces into the top of the mincer and push down with the meat pusher.
Turn the handle and out comes the minced chicken.
This is really easy to do and you don’t need to press down hard to get the chicken to travel through.
And finally one of my favourite recipes ever:
Thai Minced Chicken In Lettuce
Serves 2-3
Make that 2 it’s so good you will want as much as possible.
Ingredients
600g Minced Chicken (I minced it myself with my Eddingtons Mincer pro)

3tsb brown sugar
3 cloves of garlic chopped
2x2cm cube of fresh ginger, chopped into small pieces

1 stem of lemongrass the white part only, finely sliced
To Garnish
3 tbs chopped coriander
1 s chopped spring onion,
2tbs chopped fresh mint
Zest of 2 limes
Juice of 1 lime, use the other zested one as a garnish (to be used if needed)
Method
4 baby gem lettuces washed and the larger outer leaves removed and left to dry.
Mince the chicken breast, cover and set aside.
Make sure you chop all ingredients that need chopping / slicing, zesting, jucing etc.
Place 1tbs coconut oil in a heated saucepan and add the chicken, stirfry for 3 minutes.
Add in the soy, lime leaves, sugar, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, sweet chilli and lemongrass and cook for a further 5-6 minutes (medium heat).
Once the chicken is cooked through add in the coriander, spring onion, mint, zest and lime juice and stir in well.

Enjoy!

I like gadgets like this, it’s true you don’t know what’s going into ready made meals now and it’s better to make it from scratch if you can.
This was really easy to use and I love my new recipe 😉
Whilst I’m not a fan of Thai food myself, I love the idea of being able to mince your own chicken!
I bet you’d love this it’s gorgeous and the mincer was brilliant!
We love using lettuce like this. It’s a nice low carb meal with lots of flavour.
It sure is I loved this and plan to make it for my friends soon 😉
I do love thai food – what a great healthy option!
Thai is one of my favourites I love the flavours so much 😉
Love the idea of being able to mince your own chicken, or anything really!
But I have to say, it does look a bit gross coming out of it! Haha
Lol it does but it tastes great when you cook it. Plus it’s what i call clean food 😉
Oh wow, this is such a cool recipe. Each of the lettuce baskets is so pretty.
It is very pretty isn’t it and the best part is it tastes great!!!!
What a really great kitchen gadget, I have always loved the idea of mincing my own meat x
I’ve been wanting to do it for ages and I am so pleased I can now 😉
I like the look of the ‘baskets’, very interesting recipe!
It’s great to see you can make restaurant style foods at home! 😉
It must be such a good feeling to be able to mince your own meat and create these things from scratch x
I do love cooking but that’s because I love tasty and healthy foods 😉
This is a fantastic little gadget! With so much to worry about in regards to what goes into our food it is nice to be able to have that option.
It really is and even my baby boy could use it, it really is that simple 😉
I’ve never made my own mince before – it looks easy though 😀
We often replace tacos with lettuce leaves now – you save SO many calories! x
I know isn’t it fabulous, I plan to make loads of recipes with mice as I am loving this gadget 😉
These lettuce baskets look absolutely delicious, I have only seen lettuce baskets with BBQ meat not chicken. This looks delicious.
I’m so pleased you liked the recipe it really is one to make over and over and it’s very healthy as well as tasty 😉
These look lush! My friend is from china and she makes something very similar but with pork mince xxx
I plan to experiment some more so you never know I made do something similar with pork mince too soon 😉
i love gem lettuce baskets! ive done a chicken caesar inspired one and it was delishhhh
That would be lovely too, I may have to do that sometime 😉
I’ve just bought some minced turkey so I’m going to try this recipe tomorrow for my husband and I. We have our own mincer too, it is the best thing for chicken as pre-minced chicken is impossible to buy or super expensive! H x
So pleased you liked this recipe Harriet. I aim to make some more Thai style meals soon enjoy! 😉
These look like something you would get in a restaurant! Great device too x
Aaaahhhhhh thanks, it’s really tasty. I impressed myself. The gadget is really good. I love it and plan to use it loads 😉
Such a good idea – the MincePro looks so quick and easy to use too.
It is simple to use and clean which helps 😉
Seeing how some pre-prepared food is made would be an important lesson for us. I don’t touch burgers and on the odd occasion I eat sausages I make sure they are of good quality. The mincerpro is useful as I always use my hands.
It is better to know what is in your food 😉
My husband loves to make wraps using lettuce! I remember they used to offer a dish similar at TGI Fridays!
I will need to look into other recipes I can try with gem lettuce leaves.
Yummy, it looks so delicious! I love the idea of mincing my own meat! 🙂
It is a great option for getting the meat as lean as possible.
This sounds fab! I’ve always wanted a mincer but just never got round to it, this recipe looks delicious and I’d love to make homemade burgers and other things by mincing myself, I’m going to have to get one!
It is a great gadget. I love mine.
Think I need that gadget in my kitchen. Looks really handy.
It is, I’m using it again tonight.
This is a great device. It reminds me of my childhood when my grandmother used to mince lots of things manually. I’d love to get one too 🙂
This mincer is good and not expensive.
This looks amazing! It sounds delicious and I’d love a Eddingtons Mincerpro! Need to add that to my wishlist 🙂
It is a super kitchen gadget.
My partner and i love Thai food so we would love this probably!
Honestly I wish I had made more as between my eldest daughter, Mr Squishy and my husband we polished it off very fast. You will love this!
What a nifty little gadget, I would love one but I wouldn’t know where to put it. The food looks amazing by the way. x
It is rather handy. I know there is never enough cupboard space.
I remember my Nan never bought mince or sausages. She had a mincer, and as a kid I used to love setting it up and mincing the meat!
It is fun to use isn’t it.
This looks surprisingly easy to make, and delicious, and I love the way it’s served!
It’s full of flavour and very popular at mine 😉
Thai Minced Chicken In Lettuce looks good and easy to make. My hubby would love this.
It is a tasty dish!!!
We really need to use our mincer more as we have an attachment to our stand mixer but I don’t use it enough. This does look really fresh and tasty x
I love Thai food and this minced chicken recipe looks really good! I will have to get a mincer!
It is full of flavour, we love it.
I love lettuce wraps but get tired of the same boring taco or buffalo chicken options. I can’t wait to give these a try!
It is nice to eat a wide variety of dishes.
That kitchen gadget is pretty cool, looks like it was very helpful for creating this delicious looking meal.
It sure was. You can make a great range of dishes with this.
This reminds me of a similar dish I ate in Thailand. I don’t remember if it was minced chicken, but I’d like to try making it at home.
Give this a go. You’ll love it!!!
I love having lettuce wraps/cups like this, but have never done it with the thai flavoring. It sounds wonderful!
It is a tasty dish.
We are concerned with what goes into our foods but still ate out several times per week until the pandemic.
It can depend on where you eat. Some places have better reputations than others.
What a cool gadget! I love Thai Food, so will surely try this chicken recipe 😍 It looks delicious ❤️
Me too, Thai food is very tasty.
That looks so yummy, I always wanted to try thai foods. It looks easy to make, too.
It is very easy to make which is handy.
Wow! That sounds like a really awesome kitchen gadget! I’m surely gonna check this out! The food looks really delicious!
It sure is. I do love to use mine to make yummy foods.
Such a delicious and healthy recipe to make as a midweek meal. I love that you have minced the chicken meat yourself as well using the mincer
It is a good way to know what’s in the mince.
This sounds delicious. We love Thai food. I would like to make this at home. Yes, I prefer to make my food from scratch. Thanks for this recipe.
It is so much better making a meal for yourself.
It’s a great idea for me when my family has taco night. I love eating healthy with less carbs, and this is a great option!
It is important to watch what we eat.
I love cooking and I always enjoy making our food from scratch. This is making my mouth water.
