Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 unit Lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Mango, diced
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 2 stalks Green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Crispy noodles
- 12 leaves Butterhead or iceberg lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, the juice of 1 lime, and the minced garlic cloves.
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, toss to coat evenly, and let it marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the mango by peeling and dicing it into small, bite-sized pieces. Julienne the carrot, and thinly slice the green onions.
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to make a simple dressing. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes if desired.
Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves. Lay them out on a serving platter to form cups for the filling.
Assemble the lettuce wraps by filling each leaf with a few pieces of cooked chicken, diced mango, julienned carrot, and a sprinkle of sliced green onions. Top with crispy noodles for crunch and freshly chopped cilantro.
Drizzle each wrap with the prepared dressing for added flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
