Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Butter lettuce leaves
- 450 grams Chicken breast, diced
- 120 milliliters Coconut milk
- 60 grams Peanut butter, creamy
- 30 milliliters Soy sauce
- 30 milliliters Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 15 grams Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 30 grams Crushed peanuts

Instructions
Wash and gently pat dry the butter lettuce leaves. Set aside for assembly later.
In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the satay sauce.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and sauté until fully cooked and golden, about 6–8 minutes.
Pour the prepared satay sauce into the skillet with the chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
To assemble, place a spoonful of the satay chicken mixture into each butter lettuce leaf.
Garnish with crushed peanuts, fresh cilantro, and sliced red chili if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy these fresh, nutty, and satisfying lettuce satay cups!
