Ingredients
- 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- salt and pepper to taste (I used about ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper)
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 head butter lettuce leaves separated
Sauce (see note)
- 4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil (if you have it on hand)
- ¼ cup roasted peanuts roughly chopped
- optional: lime wedges and cilantro for serving
Instructions
- Whisk together sauce ingredients and set aside. Dice chicken into small pieces - less than 1/2 inch.
- Drizzle pan with oil. Add chicken and saute over medium heat about 5 minutes until browned. Add red peppers and cook another 2-3 minutes until peppers are tender and chicken is fully cooked through.
- Fill lettuce leaves with chicken and pepper mixture, then top with peanut sauce and chopped peanuts. Serve with fresh lime wedges if desired, for squeezing on top, and chopped cilantro.
