Description
Crispy Chicken Cucumber Lettuce Wraps with Creamy Peanut Sauce made simple!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large cucumber, sliced into long strips
- 1 head of butter lettuce, leaves separated
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1–2 tablespoons water (to thin, as needed)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in the spice mixture until well coated.
- Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, the beaten eggs in another, and the panko breadcrumbs in a third.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it with panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken pieces in a single layer, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.
- To assemble, place a few pieces of crispy chicken on a cucumber strip, top with a lettuce leaf, and drizzle with creamy peanut sauce. Roll up and enjoy!
Notes
- For a healthier option, bake the breaded chicken at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Add shredded carrots or bell peppers to the wraps for extra crunch and flavor.
