Authentic Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

Cilantro

1/4 cup, chopped

Peanuts

1/4 cup, crushed

Lettuce leaves

8-10 large leaves

Green onions

1/4 cup, finely chopped

Carrots

1/2 cup, julienned

Red bell pepper

1/2 cup, diced

Fresh Ginger

1 tablespoon, grated

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Honey

2 tablespoons

Lime juice

2 tablespoons

Fish sauce

1 tablespoon

Soy sauce

1 tablespoon

Chicken breast

1 lb, diced

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
2. Add the diced chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken, reserving any leftover marinade. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the diced red bell pepper, julienned carrots, and chopped green onions to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly softened.
5. Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
6. To assemble the wraps, spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Top with crushed peanuts and chopped cilantro.
7. Roll up the lettuce leaves, securing with a toothpick if necessary, and enjoy your Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps!
