Directions

1Wash and dry the fresh produce.
2Cut the bell peppers lengthwise into quarters; remove and discard the seeds and white membrane. Small dice the peppers and transfer to a medium bowl.

11Separate the lettuce head into leaves and place on a plate.
12Once the chicken has been transferred, add more coconut oil to the skillet followed by the bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Once done, add to the bowl of chicken and mix together.
13To make the sauce, add peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper to the lime juice and minced garlic and whisk together. If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of water.
