Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting your boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken with lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, and chili flakes. Toss to coat, then let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat.
  3. While cooking, prepare your fresh ingredients. Dice the mango, slice bell peppers, and chop herbs. Rinse and dry butter lettuce leaves for wrapping.
  4. On a plate, place a lettuce leaf as the base. Spoon cooked chicken, diced mango, and sliced peppers onto the center. Sprinkle with chopped herbs.
  5. Before serving, drizzle with fresh lime juice and add optional dressing or toppings. Serve immediately for a crisp, vibrant dish.
