Spicy Szechwan Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the 5 spice powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper together. Set aside.
• Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, and pound out in between two sheets of plastic wrap. This is to ensure even cooking.
• Sprinkle on spice mixture evenly on both sides of the chicken breasts, lightly patting "rub" onto the chicken.
• Heat oil in pan over medium high/high heat and fry chicken until lightly browned. (If your breasts are pounded out thin, it should not take too long to cook.) Put a little bit of butter (about 1/2 tbsp) on the top of each chicken breast, and drizzle lemon juice as well, for extra flavor. Flip chicken breasts over to cook the other side and repeat process.
• Once the chicken has been fully cooked, remove from heat and place onto a platter and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes.
• While the chicken is resting, prepare the slaw mix. Peel and wash your carrots and daikon radish. If you have a mandolin, you may use that to slice the carrots. Otherwise, thinly slice the carrots and daikon into julienned strips.
• In another bowl, combine the carrots, daikon, diced green onions, bean sprouts, and Szechuan sauce together.
• Thinly slice the chicken breasts. You can either slice them into strips or dice them, depending on your preference.
• Arrange a little of the slaw mix and the chicken onto each bib lettuce cup. If you are unable to find bib lettuce, you can try using regular iceberg lettuce cups instead.
• If you are serving this as an appetizer, it should serve about 4-6 people.

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce, sambal oelek, brown sugar, and fish sauce in a small bowl; set aside.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium. Add scallions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened (a little color is okay), about 3 minutes. Add chicken and lightly season with salt. Cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon and tossing occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Add reserved soy sauce mixture and cook, tossing occasionally, until liquid is almost completely reduced, about 2 minutes.
• Serve chicken mixture with lettuce, herbs, lime wedges, and more sambal oelek for making lettuce wraps.

Steps:

• For the topping: Add the artichoke hearts, red onion, diced tomato, lemon juice, olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper to a medium bowl. Toss to combine and set aside.
• For the filling: In a separate large bowl, mix the olive oil, rosemary, red pepper flakes, garlic, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the chicken and toss to combine and coat the chicken.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. When hot, add the chicken to the grill, cook until well marked and golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Chop into small pieces and add the chicken pieces to a serving bowl.
• Lay out the bowl of chicken, the topping, the lettuce leaves, cheese, balsamic glaze, pesto and basil on a platter or board and have everyone build their own wraps.
• To make a wrap, take one of the butter lettuce leaves and fill with some of the grilled chicken. Add a teaspoon of prepared pesto, then spoon some of the tomato and artichoke topping onto the chicken. Drizzle over the balsamic glaze, sprinkle on the Romano cheese and garnish with fresh basil.

Steps:

• For the scallion and carrot relish: Toss the soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, carrots, scallions and lime juice in a medium bowl. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• For the pork: Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil, and once hot, the pork. Cook the pork, breaking it up with the back of your spoon until it browns and is no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes, salt, garlic, ginger and shallots. Cook until they are aromatic and incorporated, another minute. Add the hoisin and stir to combine, then add the soy sauce. Cook until the pork is sticky and glazed, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pork to a serving bowl.
• Serve the pork with the lettuce leaves, some scallion and carrot relish, cilantro leaves, mint leaves, peanuts and sriracha, letting everyone build their own wraps with all the fixings.
