Directions

1
Heat a sauté pan with oil, then add the chicken and cook until almost done.
2
Next, add red pepper, onion, and garlic and sauté until onion is translucent and the chicken is fully cooked.
3
Then add approximately 3 oz. of the sauce mixture (see recipe below) to the pan and reduce until thick. Serve with the lettuce leaves on the side.
4
Sauce Preparation: Whisk all ingredients together until fully incorporated.
5
The remainder of the sauce can be saved in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. A great variation for this recipe would be to add a heaping tablespoon of peanut butter to the sauce to give it an even more unique flavor. The sauce can also be used for many different applications. Try making a stir fry with soba or rice noodles with tofu and add this sauce to it, or use for a steak marinade!
