Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (Cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1 diced red pepper
- 3 green onions
- 1/2 cup nut butter
- 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp saracha
- 1 tbsp black pepper

- 1 Lime juiced
- 1/2 cup Vertical Roots Cilantro
- 1 head Vertical Roots Leafy Greens
- 1/4 cup Cashews - finely chopped

Instructions
- place the chicken in a bowl with a 1/4 cup of soy sauce and set aside for 5 min.
- Heat a non-stick pan, then place the chicken in the pan, without any additional soy sauce or liquid left in the bowl. Turn to medium heat and cook.
- Once the chicken starts to brown, add in red pepper and 1/2 cup of chopped green onions. Continue to cook and brown.
- While the chicken mixture is cooking, place 4 tbsp soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha, black pepper, garlic, 1/4 cup of the chopped cilantro, and lime juice in a small food processor and blend until combined. Mixing in a bowl will also work if you do not have a food processor.
- Once the chicken is well browned, add the nutty spicy sauce to the pan. Mix well with the chicken mixture and cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Remove leaves from the Vertical Roots Leafy Greens and place on a plate. When the sauce is removed from the heat, you can sprinkle the cashews, remaining cilantro, and onions on top before serving.
- To enjoy, place a couple of tablespoons of the chicken into the centre of the lettuce. Wrap the remaining lettuce leaves around the mixture and ENJOY!
