Ingredients

1 tablespoon coconut oil 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces ½ teaspoon each salt, & pepper 1 red chili pepper, deseeded and chopped 2 cloves garlic, crushed 2 tablespoons fresh ginger 3 tablespoons honey ¼ cup coconut aminos 3 tablespoons cashews, roughly chopped 1 cup shredded carrots 1 head lettuce, washed and leaves separated

Instructions

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

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

3. Add the honey and coconut aminos or soy sauce sauce. 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.

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.
