Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Place the chicken pieces in a shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki sauce mixture over them. Reserve the remaining sauce for later.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.

- Pour the reserved teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Remove from heat and spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture onto the lettuce leaves.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
- Roll up the lettuce leaves and enjoy the delicious Teriyaki Chicken Lettuce Wraps!
Service Suggestion

Notes

- For a spicier version, add some red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
