Instructions
-
Prepare the Lettuce Cups: Start by carefully separating the leaves of the iceberg lettuce, ensuring you have intact cups for your wraps. For each serving, stack two or three leaves together to create a sturdy vessel. Set these aside on a platter.
-
-
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of sunflower oil over medium flame. Add the diced chicken breasts and sauté them until they turn a delightful light brown color, about 4-6 minutes. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper to taste. Once the chicken is cooked through, transfer it to a bowl and set it aside.
-
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining teaspoon of sunflower oil. Once hot, toss in the finely chopped garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Next, add the chopped spring onion bulbs and button mushrooms, continuing to sauté until the mushrooms become tender and their moisture evaporates, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Combine the Ingredients: Once the vegetables are ready, season with additional salt and pepper, then drizzle in the chilli vinegar, soy sauce, and both types of red chilli sauces. Stir well to combine, allowing the sauces to meld together. Finally, return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing everything together on high heat until the chicken is well coated with the sticky, flavorful sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
-
Assemble and Serve: Turn off the heat and prepare to serve. On your serving platter, arrange the lettuce cups neatly. Spoon a generous tablespoon of the sweet and spicy chicken mixture into each cup. For an extra touch, consider serving these wraps alongside a Sweet & Spicy Soy Dipping Sauce for additional flavor.
-
Complete the Meal: For a well-rounded dining experience, accompany your crispy chicken lettuce wraps with delightful dishes such as Thai Chicken Noodle Soup with Veggies and Layered Thai Basil & Tofu Rice. For dessert, indulge in Gluten-Free Banana Coconut Milk Ice Cream for a refreshing end to your meal.
