Grilled Chicken Lettuce Wraps

1.In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.

2.Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.

3.Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C).

4.Lightly brush the grill with olive oil to prevent sticking.

5.Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and grill for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through with nice grill marks.

6.Transfer the grilled chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

7.Lay out the butter lettuce leaves on a serving platter.

8.Distribute the sliced grilled chicken evenly among the lettuce leaves.

9.Top each wrap with julienned carrot, cucumber slices, and green onions.

10.Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the wraps and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.

11.Season with a pinch of salt if desired and serve immediately as a light, refreshing meal.
