# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, sriracha, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth and set aside.

Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken, season with salt and black pepper, and cook, breaking apart, until no longer pink and lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
03 -
Add garlic, carrots, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until vegetables are just tender.
04 -
Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Bring to a boil. Let simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thickened and glossy, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove filling from heat and spoon evenly into lettuce leaves. Garnish with green onions, chopped peanuts, and sesame seeds before serving.

The filling may be prepared up to 3 days in advance and reheated before serving. Serve the mixture over rice or noodles as an alternative to lettuce wraps.

Diced water chestnuts, cabbage, radishes, or mushrooms can be added for variety.
