Cashew Chicken Wraps


These cashew chicken wraps are one of my favorite recipes! They are easy to make and on the table in about half an hour.
I love to meal prep these and put them in my fridge for lunches or to serve them for dinner. I store the lettuce leaves and filling separately and just assemble when ready to serve so the lettuce doesn't wilt.

Ingredients
  

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup tamari soy sauce, or coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter room temperature
  • 3 tbsp honey preferably local
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1-2 large garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes*

For less heat use ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes instead

Other 

Ingredients:

  • 1 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breast cubed
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 large green onions sliced (white and green parts separated)
  • 1-2 cloves garlic minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 large head Bibb lettuce separated, rinsed, and patted dry
  • ½ cup chopped cashews lightly salted

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the tamari, peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Add the cubed chicken breast and gently toss to combine. Set aside.
  • Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add white part of green onions and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion starts to develop some color, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour the chicken and sauce into the skillet and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce starts to thicken, approximately 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and divide the chicken mixture between the Bibb lettuce leaves. Top each wrap with the sliced green onions and chopped cashews and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For best results, heat the peanut butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before adding to the sauce. It is easier to blend when slightly warm.
