How to Make Chicken Cashew Lettuce Wraps

  1. Whisk together all stir-fry sauce ingredients in a small bowl: 1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
  2. Set the stir-fry sauce aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Cook the chicken until browned on all sides.
  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, along with 1 teaspoon of gluten-free soy sauce.
  7. Cook until the onions are tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet. Add 1 cup roasted cashews.
  9. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes to reheat the chicken and combine the ingredients.
  10. Pour the stir-fry sauce over the chicken and cashew mixture. Stir to combine and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  11. Remove from heat and serve immediately in crisp lettuce cups (butter lettuce or romaine hearts work well).
