Step 1
Start by tossing the chicken, mushrooms, water chestnuts, green and red bell peppers, onion, ginger, and peanuts into your slow cooker. Pour in the teriyaki marinade and sauce, then drizzle with olive oil and honey. Give everything a good stir to mix it all together. Cover and cook on high for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and there’s no pink left. When it’s ready, scoop the chicken mixture onto fresh lettuce leaves. Add a spoonful or two of brown rice on the side, and finish things off with a drizzle of peanut sauce and a little ginger dressing. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish is perfect for busy days because it cooks slowly with minimal effort. The chicken turns tender and flavorful, soaking up all the spices. Plus, wrapping the filling in fresh lettuce adds a refreshing crunch that makes every bite enjoyable.
How to serve
Serve these wraps with a side of steamed rice or quinoa to make a complete meal. A light dipping sauce, such as hoisin or peanut sauce, pairs wonderfully and adds another layer of taste. Fresh herbs like cilantro or mint can brighten up the dish even more.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep the lettuce leaves separate to prevent them from wilting. Reheat the filling gently in the microwave or on the stove before assembling.
