  • Author: Olena of ifoodreal.com
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 serving

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, diced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 inch knob ginger, minced
  • 1 small zucchini, diced
  • 1 small bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup cashews, coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 head of butter, iceberg or Romaine lettuce, leaves separated
  • 1 tbsp avocado or any oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Make sure all ingredients are chopped and ready.
  2. Preheat large ceramic non-stick skillet on medium heat and add cashews. Pan fry until toasted, stirring constantly. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Return skillet to medium heat and swirl oil to coat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Add chicken and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Right before the chicken is done cooking, in a small bowl add cold water, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and cornstarch; whisk with a fork. Add to the chicken along with zucchini and bell pepper; cook for 1 minute or until the sauce has thickened. Stir in cashews and green onions.
  6. Serve chicken lettuce wraps immediately. To assemble, use 2-3 stacked lettuce leaves (depending on its thickness) and spoon filling on top. Serve with a side of brown rice or quinoa.

Store: Refrigerate filling in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat on a skillet before assembling lettuce wraps. You can also refrigerate washed lettuce leaves wrapped in a linen towel for up to 3 days.

Notes

Instead of chicken breast, you can use diced chicken thighs, and ground chicken or ground turkey.
Kids love the filling in a warm flour tortilla. Just heat the tortilla in a cast-iron skillet until bubbles appear on each side.
