Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, tamari or liquid aminos
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, diced
1 bell pepper (red, orange or yellow), diced
1 clove garlic, minced

1 small head Bibb or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated into 8 "cups"

Steps:

  • Whisk together the soy sauce, honey and cilantro in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add the bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, about 1 minute, then add the chicken and cook, stirring, occasionally, until cooked through, about 7 minutes.
  • Stir in the soy sauce mixture and salt and cook until the juices evaporate, about 2 minutes.
  • Spoon the filling into the lettuce cups and serve immediately. To eat, roll up the filling in the lettuce like a burrito.
