CASHEW CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS

Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps that are better-than-take-out and made from scratch in less than 30 minutes! Grilled chicken smothered in the tastiest general-tso’s inspired sauce with crunchy cashews, spooned into a crisp green lettuce cup.

We had a very BUSY weekend — swimming, BBQ’s with friends, errands, and a blown-out tire. I’m in need of an easy, stress-free dinner tonight and these lettuce wraps are at the top of my list!

• 2 Tbsp cornstarch
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 2 tsp sesame oil or substitute canola oil
• 1 - 2 tsp Sriracha hot sauce to taste
• 3/4 cup unsalted cashews

Instructions

1. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
2. In a small bowl stir together the chicken stock, soy sauce, ginger, hoisin sauce, vinegar, and cornstarch.
