Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 2 teaspoons of sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger, grated
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 cup of carrots, shredded
- 1 cup of bell peppers (any color), chopped
- ½ cup of green onions, chopped
- 1 cup of cabbage, shredded
- 8 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce)
- 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.
- Marinate Chicken: Place the sliced chicken in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Mix well to coat the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Cook Chicken: In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Prepare Vegetables: While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables. In a separate bowl, combine the shredded carrots, chopped bell peppers, green onions, and cabbage.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay the lettuce leaves on a flat surface. Distribute the vegetable mixture evenly among the leaves, then top with cooked chicken slices.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle wraps with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds if desired. Roll up each lettuce leaf to enclose the filling, and serve immediately.
