Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps


Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps




















Serves: 8 (2 lettuce cups each serving)

Ingredients

450 grams (1 pound) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite seized piece
4 tablespoons oyster sauce
4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil (or olive oil)
2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon chili paste
50 grams (1/3 cup) raw cashews
8 Boston lettuce leaves

Toppings (optional):

thinly-sliced basil
sesame seeds

Instructions

Place the chicken in a zip lock bag with the oyster sauce, soy sauce and chili paste.
Let the chicken marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and
cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium high, add the chicken and the remaining oil, and stir-fry 
until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the cashews and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Spoon the mixture into the individual lettuce leaves, top with basil and sesame seeds and
 serve.
Enjoy!
