Instructions

Step 1

Whisk together sauce ingredients until well combined. If you use a firmer peanut butter you may need to microwave the mixture for 30-60 seconds in order to melt it and ensure everything is well-mixed.

Step 2

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a frying pan. Once hot, add ground chicken or turkey.

Step 3

Cook until some pieces are starting to brown. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes or until the onion is becoming translucent.

Step 4

Add the peppers and water chestnuts and cook about 5 minutes or until peppers are becoming soft.

Step 5

Add sauce and simmer on low heat until the chicken and veggies are evenly coated and everything is heated through.

Step 6

Serve in lettuce leaves, on top of your favorite Asian salad, or over noodles or rice! One serving = 1/4 of the mixture with sauce.

Step 7

One serving = 1/4 of the mixture with sauce. Nutrition info does not include lettuce/ serving ingredients.
