  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (finely diced)
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 cup bell peppers (finely chopped, any color)
– 1 cup carrots (grated)
– 1 green onion (sliced)
– 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
– 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
– 1 head of iceberg or butter lettuce (leaves separated)
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Making Teriyaki Chicken Lettuce Wraps is straightforward. Follow these steps for an easy and rewarding cooking experience:

1. Prep the Ingredients: Wash and chop the vegetables. Dice the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces.

2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

3. Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.

4. Add Vegetables: Toss in the chopped bell peppers and grated carrots. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender but still crisp.

5. Add Teriyaki Sauce: Pour in the teriyaki sauce, stirring well to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is heated through.

6. Remove from Heat: Turn off the heat and stir in the sliced green onions and sesame seeds if using.

7. Assemble the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the teriyaki chicken mixture into the center.

8. Wrap and Enjoy: Fold the lettuce leaf around the filling like a taco. Repeat this process with the remaining chicken mixture.

9. Serve Immediately: Plate the wraps and serve with extra teriyaki sauce on the side for dipping if desired.

These steps ensure a delicious outcome, allowing you to savor the medley of flavors and textures in each bite!
