Report
Low carb eating just got a whole lot more interesting with my Firecracker Chicken Lettuce Wraps! Who needs rice when you've got fresh crunchy lettuce leaves?

Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenders, cut in very small dice
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh minced ginger
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 4 multi-colored bell peppers, finely diced
- hot pepper, dried or fresh, thinly sliced (or chili pepper flakes to taste)
- 1 large head butter lettuce individual leaves separated
garnish
- sliced green onions
sauce
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice, canned is fine.
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp plum sauce
- 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp Sriracha sauce
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Whisk the sauce ingredients together and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok until hot and stir fry the chicken, in two batches, until it is no longer pink. Remove to a plate.
- Add more oil if necessary and saute the onion, ginger, and garlic for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the peppers, both sweet and hot, and stir fry for another few minutes. The peppers should be bright and crunchy, don't let them get soft. Remove to a plate.
- Add the sauce to the pan and bring to a simmer, stirring or whisking until it thickens. Add the chicken (and any juices) and the peppers etc back into the pan and give everything a good mix. Continue heating until everything is nice and hot.
- Serve spooned onto the lettuce leaves and top with the sliced green onions. Or, spoon the sauce into a bowl and let people serve themselves.
