Equipment
- Large Skillet or Frying Pan
- Pot for cooking pasta
- Cutting board and knife
- Mixing Bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula or wooden spoon
Ingredients
- 2 oz angel hair pasta
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into small bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup carrot, grated
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp PF Fit powdered peanut butter
- 1-2 tbsp water
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Lime wedges for serving
- 2 tbsp chopped peanuts or almonds for garnish
- 8 butter lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Start by cooking the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions. Usually, this involves bringing a pot of salted water to a boil, adding the pasta, and cooking for about 2-3 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bite-sized pieces of chicken. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the chicken is cooked, add the diced red bell pepper and grated carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still vibrant.
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and sweet chili sauce. Pour this sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly and let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
- In another bowl, mix the PF Fit powdered peanut butter with 1-2 tablespoons of water until you achieve a smooth consistency. Adjust the water to your desired thickness.
- To assemble your Macro Friendly Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps, take a butter lettuce leaf and fill it with a generous portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Drizzle some peanut sauce on top, sprinkle with chopped green onions and cilantro, and finish with a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts or almonds.
- Serve your wraps immediately with extra lime wedges on the side. Enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors!
Notes
- Store any leftover filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to swap chicken for ground turkey or tofu for a vegetarian option.
- Don't skip the lime juice; it brightens the dish!
