Ingredients

4 servings

  • 1 package chicken tender
  • 1 ½ tablespoons dried adobo seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons cream of coconut, (not coconut milk)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon pineapple teriyaki sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons scallions, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup honey-roasted peanuts, crushed
  • 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 package butter lettuce
  • 1 tablespoon leftover marinade
  • 1 teaspoon scallions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sweetened coconut
  • 1 teaspoon cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  • In a clean Tupperware, season each chicken tender with adobo, salt and pepper.
  • Next, in a measuring cup, mix all of the wet ingredients together and whisk until a cohesive marinade is formed.
  • Pour the majority of the marinade over the chicken tenders, leaving approximately 3-4 tablespoons of marinade left over, to serve as dressing for finished lettuce wrap.
  • Allow chicken to marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Lightly brush a baking sheet with 1 tbsp of sesame oil. Place each chicken tender down on the baking sheet, approximately ½ inch to 1 inch apart from one another. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes at 425 °F or until the top of the chicken appears golden brown.
  • Once the chicken is baked, allow the tenders to sit for 5–10 minutes.
  • Once cooled, lay your tenders down on large segments of butter lettuce and top with your leftover marinade, leftover herbs and leftover sweetened coconut.
  • Wrap like a burrito and enjoy.
