Description

Lettuce wraps full of Asian flavors with a spicy honey-peanut sauce.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE LETTUCE WRAP FILLING:
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ½ cups Yellow Onion, Diced
  • 4 whole Green Onions, Sliced, Divided
  • ⅓ cups Carrots, Cut Into Matchsticks
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • ½ teaspoons Salt, Divided
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken, Cubed
  • 1 can (5 Oz. Size) Sliced Water Chestnuts
  • ½ cups Peanuts, Crushed, Divided
  • ¼ cups Cilantro, Chopped, Divided
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha Chili Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Soy Sauce
  • Lettuce Cups, To Serve
  • ½ cups Cabbage, Shredded
  • FOR THE HONEY-PEANUT DRIZZLE:
  • 1 Tablespoon Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 1-½ teaspoon Soy Sauce
  • ½ teaspoons Sesame Oil
  • ½ teaspoons Fresh Ginger, Freshly Grated
  • ½ teaspoons Sriracha Chili Sauce
  • ¼ teaspoons Sesame Seeds

Preparation

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large non-stick skillet. Saute the yellow onion, half the green onions, carrots, and garlic. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir. Cook the vegetables until they are fragrant and soft, 7-8 minutes.

While the vegetables are cooking, mix the ingredients for the sauce together. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

To the veggies, add the chicken, water chestnuts, remaining green onions, half of the peanuts, half of the cilantro, remaining salt, pepper, Sriracha and soy sauce, and stir well. Allow the mixture to cook for 1-2 minutes more.

Serve the mixture in lettuce cups and garnish with cabbage, remaining peanuts and cilantro, and honey-peanut drizzle.

Note: To make these vegetarian, simply omit the chicken and add tofu, chickpeas, mushrooms, edamame, etc. in place of the protein.

This was quite tasty. Will make this again, but for convenience I’ll just stir the peanut sauce into the meat mixture.

What a yummy recipe! I will definitely make these lettuce wraps again, it came together quick, and you could even use rotisserie or leftover grilled chicken to cut down cooking time!

These were delicious, my husband and I ate them between us in one sitting! The peanut sauce was perfect and tasted authentic Thai to us! I can see myself making this recipe over and over again!
