Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
- 10 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, orange juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, and cornstarch to make the sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Add the chicken to the skillet and stir-fry until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the red bell pepper, carrot, and scallions. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour the sauce over the mixture. Stir well and let the sauce thicken for about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
Spoon the stir-fry mixture into individual romaine lettuce leaves.
Serve immediately as wraps and enjoy!
