Tender, shredded chicken in a delicious sweet and spicy honey-sriracha sauce. Deliciously paired with rice, and wrapped in a lettuce leaf.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 cup carrots shredded
- ½ cup onions chopped
- ¼ cup crushed peanuts
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 Lettuce leaves-Living lettuce romaine, or green leaf
- 2 cups Rice

Honey Sriracha Sauce
- 2-3 teaspoon sriracha depending on how spicy you like it
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons peanut butter
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat oil and saute onions, carrots, and garlic until tender. Add peanuts and shredded chicken and heat through and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine sriracha, honey, soy sauce, ginger and peanut butter. Mix until smooth.
- Add sauce to chicken and vegetable skillet and mix until fully incorporated.
- Spoon a small amount of rice on top of lettuce leaf and top with chicken and vegetable mixture.

Notes
- By nature, this isn't a saucy meal BUT... want it saucy!? Double the sauce for double the fun!
- Chop the onions, carrots, and peanuts in a food processor
- You can use any type of lettuce leaves but my favorite are living lettuce, or romaine bibs.
- Add crushed red pepper to give your wraps more of a kick
- An easy way to shred chicken is by using a stand mixer.
