Customize It Instructions
-
If using diced chicken thighs, pat dry. Stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.
-
If using shrimp, pat dry. Cook until pink and shrimp reach minimum internal temperature, 2-3 minutes per side.

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Separate leaves of lettuce for cups.
Using hands, tear cilantro leaves.Peel and mince shallot.Slice jalapeño into thin rounds. Remove seeds for less spice. Wash hands and cutting board after working with jalapeño.Pat chicken dry and season all over with Asian garlic, ginger & chile seasoning (use less if spice-averse). -
2 Cook the Chicken
Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil.
Add half the shallots (reserve remaining for slaw) and chicken to hot pan. Stir occasionally until browned and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes.Remove from burner.To use an air fryer, place chicken and shallots in basket in an even layer and generously spray with cooking spray. Air fry at 375 degrees until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 9-12 minutes, flipping once halfway through.While chicken cooks, continue recipe. -
3 Make the Slaw
In a mixing bowl, combine vinegar, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, slaw mix, remaining shallots, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
-
4 Make Sriracha Mayonnaise and Finish Dish
In another mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise and Sriracha (to taste). Set aside.
Plate dish as pictured on front of card, placing chicken in lettuce cups. Top with slaw, cilantro, Sriracha mayonnaise (to taste), and jalapeños (to taste). You should have about 5-6 cups total. Layer two lettuce cups for extra crunch and structural support. Lettuce cups are a delicious but messy meal. For this recipe, they can easily be converted to a salad. Simply chop romaine and top with filling after completing steps.Bon appétit!
