I’m sorry, but THIS FREAKING CHICKEN. I am strongly considering just putting it on everything and everything and definitely eating it by itself.

I throw a lettuce wrap in there to feel better about myself. That and it makes a pretty handy holder for holding literal piles of sesame garlic honey chicken. ??

THEEEESE. They are about the easiest thing ever to toss together. First up is the chicken which you could likely make in your sleep it’s so easy. Because of this fact you will be inclined to make it approximately every day. You’ve been properly warned.

Saute boneless skinless chicken thigh cubes with a little onion and garlic then make your sauce right in the same pan! A little honey, fresh grated ginger, soy sauce, etc. Throw a whooole bunch of green onions and sesame seeds in the pan and try not to “accidentally” fall facefirst into it.

Get that butter lettuce ready because it’s about to be filled with literal chicken heaven.

The absolute BEAUTY of these lettuce wraps is that you can totally make the chicken up way ahead of time and assemble them in the lettuce wraps right before eating.

Ask someone who knows. I totally did that all week with these honey garlic chicken lettuce wraps and suffice to say that was a pretty amazing week.
