Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients

Filling

2 tablespoons organic olive oil

½ lb raw chicken tenderloins - cut into small chunks

4 cloves of garlic, minced

½ cup chopped white onion

½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp curry powder (option - will add extra heat!)

1 cup shredded or thinly cut carrots

½ cup finely shredded red or green cabbage

Sauce

⅓ cup sweet chili sauce

1 heaping tbsp sunflower butter or peanut butter

2 tsp low sodium soy sauce

⅓ cup freshly chopped cilantro

1 head butter lettuce or romaine lettuce hearts

Cooking Supplies/Equipment

1 cutting board

1 safety cutting knife

Pan or pot for cooking

Cooking Utensil

Whisk

Medium Mixing Bowl

Directions

Heat oil in a pan - over medium high heat.

Add chicken to pan, add seasonings to chicken and stir.

Cooking until chicken is done (165F) - until chicken is no longer pink and firm - about 10 mins or so.

Add garlic, onions, carrots and cabbage.

Cook for about 5 - 7 mins, sweating the veggies. (When they start to wilt slightly - but still look like they’d have a slight crunch!)

In a separate bowl: combine sauce ingredients. Whisk sauce ingredients together in the bowl.

Add sauce to chicken veggie mixture in the pan and turn heat on low.

Stir to evenly combine sauce & chicken veggie mixture!

Carefully spoon chicken and sauce mixture into lettuce cups/hearts.

Sprinkle on some extra cilantro (optional) & enjoy!
