Instructions

1. Place 2 frozen chicken breasts into Instant Pot. Set cook time and temperature per appliance instructions. If chicken is raw, adjust cook time and temperature in the Instant Pot per its cooking requirements. If you don’t have an Instant Pot, cook chicken until it reaches proper cooking temperatures. Shred thoroughly cooked chicken and set aside to assemble wraps and make sauce.
2. In a separate bowl, mix peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar until combined.
3. Separate lettuce leaves to make wraps. May need to stack 2-3 lettuce leaves for each wrap.
