• 2 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 cup coconut milk, canned
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 medium carrot, shredded
• 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced thinly
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 8 leaves butterhead lettuce or romaine lettuce leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest before shredding or finely chopping into small pieces.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 4

Sprinkle the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander over the onions and garlic. Stir to combine and toast the spices for 1 minute to release their flavors.

Step 5

Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, and honey. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Return the shredded chicken to the skillet, ensuring it is fully coated in the sauce. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the chicken mixture cool slightly. Stir in the shredded carrot, diced red bell pepper, green onions, and chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Spoon the curried chicken mixture into the lettuce leaves, dividing evenly among them.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your light, flavorful Curried Chicken Lettuce Wraps!
