Instructions
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the sauce ingredients until well combined. Note: the sauce is very thick, and this is normal. Set aside until ready to use.
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or a large pot such as a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the fresh garlic and continue cooking another 2 minutes. If the veggies start to turn brown too quickly, lower the stove top to medium heat.
- Transfer the chopped chicken to the pot and give everything a stir. Allow the chicken to sit untouched for a few minutes to allow it to brown. Stir well and continue browning for another 1-3 minutes.
- Add the cabbage, carrot, and sauce and stir well. Bring the mixture to a full boil and continue cooking, stirring regularly, until the chicken has cooked through and the vegetables have reached your desired doneness.
- Rinse the butter leaf lettuce under cool water, then gently pat the leaves dry with a kitchen towel.
- Load up a lettuce leaf with Thai chicken mixture. Sprinkle with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, and cashews and enjoy! A sprinkle of sesame seeds is lovely here too.
