Tender and juicy chicken is stir-fried in a sauce that gets just a little sweetness from honey that's combined perfectly with a little spice from red pepper flakes. They are topped off with crunchy cashews then tucked into crispy lettuce cup.
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 large 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 chicken mixture between the individual lettuce leaves. Top each wrap with the sliced green onions and chopped cashews and serve immediately.
Notes
For less heat, use ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes insteadTip: If the peanut butter is really thick, you may need to heat it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before adding to the sauce. Plus, it's easier to blend when slightly warm.
