Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
• 1 large Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 1 cup Unsalted cashews
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha or chili garlic sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 12 pieces Butter or Boston lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce and cornstarch. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and diced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the peppers start to soften.

Step 5

Add the julienned carrot and chopped green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet along with the unsalted cashews.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, Sriracha (or chili garlic sauce), sugar, and water. Pour this mixture over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 9

To assemble the bundles, spoon a generous amount of the spicy cashew chicken mixture onto a lettuce leaf. Fold or wrap the leaf around the filling to create a bundle.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with lime wedges for added freshness and tang.
