Instructions

STEP

1

To make these lettuce wraps, start by preparing the sauce. Add the soy sauce, creamy peanut butter, lime juice, chili garlic paste, coconut sugar, and ground ginger to a bowl and whisk until fully combined. The sauce should be thick but still liquidy- if it’s too thick, add in water, one tablespoon at a time, and thin the sauce, as needed.

STEP

2

Next, prepare the chicken. Heat a pan, on the stove, over medium heat, and add in the oil.

STEP

3

Once the oil is hot, add in the chicken and cook it for about 4 minutes, until it’s almost cooked through – a little pink is okay!

STEP

4

Then, add the sliced green onions, crushed peanuts, and mashed garlic to the pot with the chicken and cook them together for another 3-4 minutes.

STEP

5

Pour approximately 3/4 of the sauce mixture into the pan and mix until everything is coated in the sauce.

STEP

6

Allow the chicken to cook for a few more minutes, then remove from the heat.

STEP

7

Add in the lime juice and mix until everything is coated well.

STEP

Finally, assemble the lettuce cups by filling each lettuce leaf with a scoop of the chicken mixture and drizzling a spoonful of the remaining sauce on top of each one. Then, serve and enjoy!
