Instructions

Step 1

Add the coconut oil to a pan or skillet and warm on a medium high heat. When the oil is melted and hot add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside for a few minutes as you make the sauce

Step 2

Add the chilli, garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for 1 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 3

Add the honey and coconut aminos. Stir well and bring the sauce to a boil and then reduce the heat down to medium-low or until it’s only simmering and let cook for about 5 more minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. The sauce should reduce down and turn into a thick glaze. Add the chicken back to the pan and toss. Cook for another minute with the chicken in the sauce then remove from the heat.

Step 4

Add a few spoonfuls of the chicken mixture into each lettuce cup and top with shredded carrot, green onions, sesame seeds and peanuts/cashews and serve.
