There's more than one way to have a crunchy dinner, this meal bringing several satisfactory snaps. There's the filling, delicious chicken bathed in a teriyaki-Sriracha-honey combination that's lip-smacking serendipity, with the small slivers of crunch in matchstick carrots. Then there's the lettuce cup; every bite into these fresh wonders is refreshingly toothsome. And for that nutty nibble, slivered almonds on top provide a perfect bit to tear through. Don't worry about the noise; you won't hear a single sound outside your satisfied ahhhs.

Cooking Guidelines
To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:
- Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
- Seafood 145° F |
- Chicken 165° F |
- Ground Beef 160° F |
- Ground Turkey 165° F |
- Ground Pork 160° F
-
1 Prepare the Ingredients
Separate leaves of lettuce for cups. Pat chicken thighs dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1" dice. Season with a pinch of pepper. Don't worry about trimming. Excess fat will render while cooking and add flavor.
-
2 Start the Filling
Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add diced chicken to hot pan and stir occasionally until browned on two sides, 3-5 minutes.
-
3 Add the Carrots
Add matchstick carrots to pan. Stir often until carrot is tender and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 2-3 minutes.
-
4 Finish the Filling
Remove from burner. Stir teriyaki glaze, honey, and Sriracha (to taste) into pan until chicken is fully glazed.
-
5 Finish the Dish
Spoon filling into lettuce cups. Plate dish as pictured on front of card, garnishing lettuce cups with almonds. Bon appétit!
