Chicken and Cucumber Lettuce Wraps with Peanut Sauce
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cucumber, peeled and sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
For the Peanut Sauce:
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the peanut sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, water, garlic, ginger, and black pepper until smooth.
- Assemble the wraps: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Place a lettuce leaf on a plate and top with some chicken, cucumber, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, peanuts, and cilantro. Drizzle with peanut sauce and enjoy!
Suggestions for Improvement:
- Use grilled chicken: Grilling the chicken instead of pan-frying it will add a smoky flavor that complements the peanut sauce.
- Add other vegetables: To increase the nutritional value and variety of flavors, add additional vegetables such as carrots, celery, or edamame.
- Vary the lettuce: Instead of using plain iceberg lettuce, try using romaine lettuce, radicchio, or bibb lettuce for a different texture and flavor.
- Make your own peanut butter: For a more authentic and flavorful peanut sauce, try making your own peanut butter from unsalted raw peanuts.
- Adjust the spice level: If you like spicy food, add a dash of cayenne pepper or Sriracha sauce to the peanut sauce.
- Serve with a side of brown rice or quinoa: To make a more complete meal, serve the lettuce wraps with a side of cooked brown rice or quinoa.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Sprinkle some chopped mint, basil, or Thai basil over the lettuce wraps before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
