Ingredients
Sauce Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp crunchy cashew butter - room temperature
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1-2 large garlic cloves minced
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes For less heat use ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes instead
Wrap Ingredients:
- 1 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast cubed
- cooking spray
- 3 large green onions sliced (white and green parts separated)
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 large head Bibb lettuce separated, rinsed, and patted dry
- 1/4 cup chopped cashews lightly salted Leave this out or reduce these for less points
Instructions
- Whisk together the soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Add the cubed chicken breast and gently toss to combine. Set aside.
- Spray a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add white part of green onions and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to develop some color, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the chicken and sauce into the skillet and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce starts to thicken approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and divide the chicken mixture between the Bibb lettuce leaves. Top each wrap with the sliced green onions and chopped cashews and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
Tip: For best results, heat the cashew butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before adding to the sauce. It is easier to blend when slightly warm.
