Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced into strips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
- Make Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, and warm water until smooth. Set aside.
- Cook Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken strips with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly browned.
- Glaze: Reduce heat to low. Pour prepared peanut sauce over the cooked chicken. Toss well to coat all pieces and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until heated through. Remove skillet from heat.
- Assemble: Arrange butter lettuce leaves on serving plates. Spoon peanut chicken mixture into each leaf.
- Garnish: Garnish each wrap with julienned carrot, cucumber, spring onions, chopped peanuts, and fresh cilantro.
- Serve: Present lettuce wraps immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Notes
High in protein and fiber. Store cooked peanut chicken filling in a sealed container in the fridge up to three days. Keep lettuce and veggies separate until serving to maintain crispness.
