Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

A flavourful marinade of soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, spring onion, salt & pepper made this chicken absolutely juicy and delicious! Wrapped in crunchy lettuce leaves and topped with sesame seeds, toasted pecans, diced baby cucumber, spring onion and an amazing sauce. These Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a perfect light but filling lunch or dinner.

Lettuce wraps are a perfect way to eat healthy plus they are so easy to put together – all you need is the pan-fried chicken, sesame seeds, chopped toasted pecans, diced baby cucumbers and spring onion. Ooh and the sauce? A delicious tangy sauce made with soy sauce, peanut oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar and some sesame seeds. This is by-far my most favourite flavour combination.
