  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1-2 tbsp water (to thin if needed)
  • 12-16 large butter lettuce or romaine lettuce leaves

Instructions

  1. **Marinate the Chicken:** In a medium bowl, combine 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp honey/brown sugar, 1 tsp grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp sesame oil, and Sriracha (if using). Add the thinly sliced chicken, toss to coat, and let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. **Prepare the Slaw:** While the chicken marinates, in a large bowl, combine the shredded red cabbage, green cabbage, shredded carrots, thinly sliced red bell pepper, green onions, and chopped cilantro.
  3. **Make the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp honey/maple syrup, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1-2 tbsp water until well combined.
  4. **Cook the Chicken:** Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. **Assemble the Wraps:** Pour the dressing over the prepared slaw mixture and toss gently to coat evenly. Arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Fill each lettuce cup with a portion of the cooked chicken and a generous amount of the crunchy Asian slaw.
  6. **Garnish and Serve:** Sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy immediately!
