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

  1. Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Assemble Wraps: Lay the lettuce leaves on a flat surface. Distribute the vegetable mixture evenly among the leaves, then top with cooked chicken slices.
  6. 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.
