Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the diced chicken breast with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of sesame oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken is fully cooked and browned, about 7-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Spicy Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and sriracha to create a spicy aioli. Adjust the sriracha to taste depending on your spice preference.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Wraps

    To assemble the wraps, place a few spoonfuls of the cooked chicken mixture onto a lettuce leaf. Top with chopped peanuts, crispy wonton wrappers, and a drizzle of the spicy aioli. Sprinkle with chopped scallions.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Szechuan chicken lettuce wraps immediately, allowing everyone to take their own wraps at the table.
