Directions
- 1. Separate the lettuce leaves and rinse them; pat dry and arrange on a plate.
- 2. Cut bell peppers into small dice and place in a medium bowl.
- 3. Shave cilantro leaves from the stems, then finely mince and set aside.
- 4. Zest and juice the lime into a small bowl, adding the minced garlic to the lime juice.
- 5. Roughly chop the peanuts and keep them nearby in a small bowl.
- 6. Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- 7. Warm a skillet over medium heat, then swirl in a small amount of coconut oil.
- 8. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes; transfer to a separate bowl.
- 9. In the same skillet, add a bit more coconut oil, then sauté the bell pepper until just tender, about 3–4 minutes; fold the peppers into the chicken bowl.
- 10. Stir together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, crushed red pepper, lime juice, and garlic until smooth; thin with a splash of water if needed.
- 11. To serve, scoop some chicken and pepper mixture into each lettuce leaf, drizzle with the peanut sauce, and sprinkle with cilantro and peanuts.
- 12. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh flavors and textures.
Two tips
- Prep the cilantro and peppers ahead for quick assemble-and-serve times.
- For variety, finish with an extra squeeze of lime over the wraps before eating.
