Description

Lettuce wraps are a good combination of savory, spicy and crunchy that I just love. Plus, they’re easy. This is a simple recipe for chicken cashew lettuce wraps. Top it off with your favorite hot sauce, basil or more cashews, and you’ll have a winner for sure.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Red Pepper
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 2-⅓ Tablespoons Soy Sauce, Divided
  • 3 Tablespoons Canola Oil (or Oil Of Choice)
  • 2 pieces Chicken Breast (approx. 3/4 Lb. Total), Diced
  • 1 cup Diced Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ¼ cups Cashews, Chopped
  • 8 leaves Greenleaf Or Iceberg Lettuce, Washed And Dried

Preparation

For stir fry sauce, mix together rice vinegar, brown sugar, ground red pepper, ground ginger, sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, making sure to dissolve brown sugar. Set aside.

Heat canola oil in pan over medium to medium-high heat. Add diced chicken and brown (about 4 to 5 minutes). Remove chicken from oil. Add onions and garlic to pan and remaining soy sauce (1/3 tbsp. or 1 tsp.) to pan; brown. When onions and garlic are brown and tender, add stir fry sauce, browned chicken and cashews. Saute mixture for a few minutes and remove from heat.

Spoon chicken mixture into individual lettuce leaves. Add your favorite hot sauce, more cashews or basil.

Enjoy!
