Ingredients
Peanut Sauce
- heaping 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 to 2 teaspoons ground ginger or to taste
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon pepper or to taste
- pinch cayenne pepper optional and to taste
Chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 to 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast diced into 1-inch cubes and seasoned with salt and pepper
- ¾ to 1 cup shredded carrots
- ¾ to 1 cup red bell peppers diced small
- ¾ to 1 cup sugar snap peas
- butter lettuce leaves for serving (look for ‘living lettuce’ at the store; will likely have the root attached)
- about 3 tablespoons cilantro leaves finely minced
- ½ cup lightly salted peanuts roughly chopped if desired
Instructions
Peanut Sauce:
- To a medium bowl add the peanut butter, sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, ginger, salt, pepper, optional cayenne, and whisk to combine until smooth and incorporated.
- Taste, check for seasoning and flavor balance, and make any necessary adjustments (i.e. more honey, more peanut butter, more salt, more sesame oil, etc.).
- Set aside to use when cooking the chicken and for drizzling over wraps.
Chicken:
- To a large skillet, add the oils, chicken, evenly season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, flipping intermittently so all sides cook evenly. Cooking time will vary based on thickness of chicken breasts and sizes of pieces.
- Add the carrots, bell peppers, sugar snap peas, and stir to combine. Cook over medium-low heat for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until vegetables are warmed through.
- Add about 1/3 cup of the peanut sauce and stir to coat all pieces of chicken evenly. Cook for about 1 minute or until warmed through; toss and spoon the peanut sauce over chicken and vegetables.
- Spoon about 1/3 cup of the mixture into each lettuce leaf.
- Evenly garnish with cilantro, optional peanuts, and drizzle with additional peanut sauce, to taste.
Notes
- Storage: Recipe is best warm and fresh but filling will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Adapted from Peanut Chicken with Peanut Noodles.
