Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Lettuce leaves (Butter or Romaine) - 4 large leaves
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated

Steps

1. Dice the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.
2. In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
