Teriyaki Chicken Lettuce Wraps Flavorful and Easy Meal
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, finely diced
- 1 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 cup green onions, sliced
- 1 cup bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 cup carrots, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1 head butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated
- for garnish sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken thighs and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Once the chicken is cooked, pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over it. Stir well to coat the chicken and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add in the chopped bell pepper and grated carrots, stirring to combine, and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender. Stir in the sliced green onions at the end.
- To assemble the wraps, take a lettuce leaf and fill it with a scoop of the teriyaki chicken mixture. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added crunch and flavor.
- Repeat this process until all the filling is used.
