Gather your ingredients! Don’t forgot Casa M’s Texas Twister®! It’s the star of the show in this dish.
Trim off the visible fat of the chicken thighs. I like to use chicken thighs because they are more tender and juicy vs breasts. Chop the chicken into bite size pieces. Or you can grind it up in the food processor if you wish.
Sauté the onions for a few minutes. Then add in garlic and the Casa M Texas Twister ® spice blend.
Sauteing the Texas Twister® Spice Blend – for even just a few minutes, opens up the spices.
Add the chicken, make up the sauce ingredients and pour over the chicken mixture. Pressure cook on high for 5 minutes. Release pressure immediately.
Arrange lettuce leaves on a plate. Sprinkle with shredded carrots. Allow guests to dollop chicken onto the leaf, add chopped peanuts and green onions and roll up their own lettuce leaves. Serve with homemade hoisin sauce or a little soy sauce if desired.
