Tip:
For optimal results, warm the peanut butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before incorporating it into the sauce. This makes it easier to blend when slightly warm.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10-15 minutes
Serves: 4
Sauce Ingredients:
1/3 c. tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) or coconut aminos
2 T. sugar-free crunchy peanut butter, room temperature
3 T. honey, preferably local
2 T. rice vinegar
1-2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 T. sesame oil
½ t. crushed red pepper flakes*
For a milder flavor, reduce the crushed red pepper flakes to ¼ teaspoon.
Ingredients:
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
2 T. unsalted butter
3 large green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
1 large head of Bibb lettuce, separated, rinsed, and patted dry
½ c. chopped cashews, lightly salted
Directions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the tamari, peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Add the cubed chicken breast and gently toss to combine. Set aside.
- In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the white parts of the green onions and minced garlic. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, stirring to combine. Cook until the onions develop a bit of color, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the chicken and sauce mixture into the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce begins to thicken, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and divide the chicken mixture among the Bibb lettuce leaves. Top each wrap with the sliced green onions and chopped cashews, then serve immediately. Enjoy!
