  • 1 14 ounce can unsweetened coconut milk shaken (or whisked to fully combine)
  • ⅓ cup fresh lime juice about 3 medium limes
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon gingerroot grated
  • 1 Tablespoon dried cilantro
  • 4 green onions cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
  • Peanut sauce
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • ¼ cup light soy sauce
  • ¼ cup lime juice about 3 medium limes
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Sriracha
  • 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the coconut milk, fresh lime juice, olive oil, soy sauce, grated gingerroot, dried cilantro, green onions, minced garlic, kosher salt, and crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Place the chicken tenderloins in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  • Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate, letting the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off.
  • Grill the chicken tenderloins until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, turning occasionally for even cooking.
  • Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes to retain its juiciness.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together peanut butter, light soy sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, Sriracha, sesame oil, honey, and kosher salt until well combined.
  • Separate the leaves of butter lettuce to create cups for the wraps.
  • Place grilled chicken pieces onto the lettuce wraps.
  • Top with Asian cucumber salad, shredded carrots, and fresh cilantro for a burst of flavors.
  • Drizzle the prepared peanut sauce over the chicken and toppings.
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds for a delightful crunch.
  • Serve the Cheesecake Factory-inspired Thai Lettuce Wraps immediately, allowing everyone to assemble their own wraps for a personalized touch.
  • Enjoy the combination of tender grilled chicken, crisp lettuce, vibrant vegetables, and the rich peanut sauce.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat fully.
  • Use fresh lime juice for a vibrant citrus flavor that brightens the dish.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha in the peanut sauce to suit your spice preference.
  • Experiment with different toppings like sliced bell peppers, crushed peanuts, or diced mango for added texture and flavor.
  • Serve the lettuce wraps with a side of steamed jasmine rice for a more substantial meal.
