Notes
- Chicken thighs can substitute chicken breast for different texture and flavor.
- Use different lettuce like little gem or romaine instead of round lettuce leaves.
- Protein can be swapped for vegetables, prawns, or tofu as preferred.
- Sweet chili sauce can replace Sriracha for a milder flavor.
- Leftover cooked chicken mixture stores up to two days in an airtight container in the fridge.
- For thicker sauce, add a cornflour slurry during cooking.
- Add crushed peanuts or cashews for extra crunch on top.
