Chicken Marinade

Preparation

Marinating Chicken

1. Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and honey. Add the boneless chicken breast, ensuring it is coated well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking Chicken

1. Cook the Chicken

After marinating, cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and let it rest before shredding.

Making the Glaze

1. Prepare the Sweet Soy Ginger Glaze

In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, stirring frequently.

Assembling the Wraps

1. Assemble the Wraps

In each lettuce leaf, layer shredded chicken, drizzle with the sweet soy ginger glaze, and top with crushed crispy wontons, chopped peanuts, and a dollop of spicy aioli. Serve immediately.
