Ingredients

4 medium chicken breasts skinless & boneless,
1/3 cup soy sauce low sodium
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tbs lime juice
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbs brown sugar
1 tbs garlic fresh, minced
bibb lettuce for serving
carrots shredded, for serving
red cabbage sliced, for serving

Instructions

Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips. Set them aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, brown sugar and minced garlic. Add the chicken to the marinade and stir until the chicken is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for a minimum of 2 hours.
When ready to serve, heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the chicken, discarding the marinade, and cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked throughout, about 8 minutes.
To assemble, add the chicken to the Bibb lettuce leaves then garnish with shredded carrots and red cabbage

Notes

Keep it simple with just a few additional wrap fillings, from chilled cucumber slices or julienned carrots to shredded purple cabbage and toasted sesame seeds. Fill ’em, wrap ’em, eat ’em. And then repeat.
