Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (thinly sliced)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 8-10 butter lettuce leaves
- Crushed peanuts for topping
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices in a single layer, and cook for 4-5 minutes until no pink remains. Stir occasionally. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to low. Add peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until smooth, then slowly pour in water. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Add shredded carrots and green onions, stirring gently. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Spoon the chicken mixture into lettuce leaves (about 2-3 tbsp per leaf). Top with crushed peanuts and serve immediately.
