There is something so special about a meal that comes together in just a few minutes. These wraps are always a hit because they balance the savory flavor of the chicken with a satisfying crunch from the cashews and fresh vegetables.

My best advice is to keep your lettuce leaves cold in the fridge until the very last second. This makes every bite feel extra crisp and refreshing, which is perfect for a busy weeknight.

🧺 Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast, cut into small bite sized pieces
1/2 cup roasted cashews, roughly chopped
1 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated
2 green onions, sliced

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
2
Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes.
3
Stir in the hoisin sauce and soy sauce, tossing the chicken until it is well coated.
4
Add the carrots and bell peppers to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until they are slightly softened but still crisp.
5
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chopped cashews.
6
Spoon the chicken mixture into the butter lettuce leaves.
7
Top each wrap with sliced green onions and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

Store the chicken mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Keep the lettuce leaves separate and assemble just before eating to ensure they stay crunchy and fresh.
