Ingredients
Lettuce Wraps
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 ⅓ Pounds chicken breast
- 8 ounces mushrooms
- 1 medium red bell pepper diced small
- ½ medium onion diced small
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- dash salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ recipe Ginger Sesame Sauce ignore heating instructions in recipe
- 1 Cup chopped bok choy
- 20 romaine lettuce leaves
Toppings
- 2 medium carrots grated
- 5 Tablespoons chopped cashews
- fresh cilantro
- Dill Pickled Radishes
Instructions
- Wash mushrooms and process in food processor until finely diced. Heat sesame and avocado oil over medium heat and add mushrooms to pan. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- While mushrooms are cooking, prep chicken: Cut each breast into three pieces and add to food processor. Pulse just until diced. Add to pan with mushrooms and stir to combine. Add bell peppers, onions, minced garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Turn heat up to medium high. Cook until chicken is cooked through (165℉), about 8-10 minutes. Turn heat back down to medium. Stir in Ginger Sesame Sauce and bok choy and cook until sauce is warmed through and bok choy is wilted.
- To serve: Spoon chicken mixture into the center of each romaine leaf, draining some of excess liquid by pushing spoon against side of pan. Top with grated carrots, chopped cashews, cilantro, and Dill Pickled Radishes.
Notes
- I recommend shiitake or cremini mushrooms in this recipe.
- I like to use red or purple carrots for this recipe, but orange works perfectly fine.
- The Dill Pickled Radishes add about 6 minutes to the recipe time. They're optional, but they do add flavor depth, nutrition, and visual appeal!
- Filling can be made ahead and reheated before assembling the wraps.
