Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion; cook 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the garlic and ginger; cook 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is fully browned and no longer pink, about 3-4 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, red chili sauce, lime juice, and maple syrup. Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken. Add the cashews; stir well. Reduce heat to low; cook for 2 minutes to let the flavors meld. Remove from heat; stir in the carrots, scallions, and cilantro.
Spoon chicken mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Drizzle sauce over the tops.
Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds.
