Postup

Chop Bell Pepper & Chicken

Chop the bell pepper into small pieces and cut the chicken into small, 1/2" cubes.

Heat Oil

Heat 1 Tablespoon of cooking oil in a skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat.

Cook & Set Aside

Cook the chicken and bell peppers for about 7-10 minutes (or until fully cooked), then set aside and drain the pan.

Cook Mushrooms

Add the remaining oil to the pan and cook the mushrooms for about 10 minutes (or until tender), seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Whisk Sauce

While the mushrooms are cooking, whisk the vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, peanut butter, ginger, crushed red pepper, honey, and garlic together until smooth.

Add Everything Back In

Add the chicken and bell peppers back into the skillet and pour the sauce over the entire dish mixing well.

Cook

Add more salt and pepper to taste, then continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes (or until everything is warm and the sauce begins to slightly thicken).

Spoon Into Lettuce

Remove from heat and spoon the mixture into each lettuce leaf (about 3/4-1 cup per lettuce leaf).

Garnish & Enjoy
