Peanut Chicken Lettuce Wraps

The basic recipe is super simple - literally three ingredients. At the same time it's loaded with flavor because my Piquant Peanut sauce... one of the three ingredients... contains 14 ingredients all by itself! I'm also including suggestions for toppings if desired, but many find that just the three ingredients is satisfying enough.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds chicken breast or tenderloins

  • 1 12oz jar Piquant Peanut sauce

  • Bibb or romaine lettuce

 

*Optional

  • Grated carrots

  • Chopped peanuts

  • Chopped purple cabbage

  • Bean sprouts

  • Limes, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350º

  2. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl. Mix in half of the sauce and stir thoroughly to incorporate.

  3. Spoon the chicken mix into a shallow dish (my preference is stoneware) and spread out in a single layer. Doing a single layer will help the chicken cook evenly and also allow the steam to evaporate vs. pool and water down the sauce.

  4. Place in the oven. While the chicken is cooking, prepare any of the optional toppings you plan on using.

  5. Check the temperature of the chicken after 10-15 minutes. Once the chicken reaches 160º, remove and let rest at least 5 minutes.

  6. Dice the chicken into small pieces and mix with remaining sauce in a bowl.

  7. Spoon the mixture into the lettuce leaves; add additional toppings and lime juice if desired.

  8. Fold in the edges of the leaves to hold in the filling; bite and enjoy!​
