Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10-15 minutes
Serves: 4
Sauce Ingredients:
1/3 c. tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) or coconut aminos
2 T. sugar-free crunchy peanut butter, room temperature
3 T. honey, preferably local
2 T. rice vinegar
1-2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 T. sesame oil
½ t. crushed red pepper flakes*
For less heat, use ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes instead
Ingredients:
1 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
2 T. unsalted butter
3 large green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
I large head of Bibb lettuce, separated, rinsed, and patted dry
½ c. chopped cashews, lightly salted
Directions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the tamari, peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes. Add the cubed chicken breast and gently toss to combine. Set aside.
- Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the white part of the green onions and garlic. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion develops some color, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the chicken and sauce into the skillet and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce starts to thicken, approximately 8-10 minutes.
