Equipment

Ingredients
- **Ingredients:**
- - 1 lb 450g boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- - 2 tbsp olive oil
- - ¼ cup soy sauce low-sodium
- - 2 tbsp honey
- - 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- - 1 tbsp sesame oil
- - 2 cloves garlic minced

- - 1 tbsp water if using cornstarch
- - 12 large lettuce leaves e.g., iceberg or butter lettuce
- - 1 tbsp sesame seeds optional, for garnish

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and grated ginger. Add the sauce to the skillet with the cooked chicken and stir to coat the chicken evenly.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve the cornstarch in water and add it to the skillet. Stir well until the sauce thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the chicken mixture cool slightly.
- To serve, spoon the chicken mixture into lettuce leaves and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy the crunchy, savory wraps!
