Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tbsp lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 – 1/2 tsp sriracha (optional, for heat)
• 2-4 tbsp warm water (to thin)
• 8-10 large lettuce leaves (butter lettuce, romaine hearts, or iceberg work well)
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts (for garnish, optional)
• Lime wedges (for serving, optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and sriracha (if using). Add warm water 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. Set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the hot pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
3. Combine and Assemble: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, sliced red bell pepper, shredded carrots, and cilantro. Pour about half of the prepared peanut sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat. You can add more sauce if desired, reserving some for drizzling.
4. Serve the Wraps: Arrange the lettuce leaves on a platter. Spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf. Garnish with chopped peanuts and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, if desired. Serve immediately with extra peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
