Ingredients
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

– 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Creating Easy Sticky Tamarind Chicken with Lettuce is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces for quicker cooking and easier serving.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the tamarind paste, soy sauce, and honey. Mix well until fully blended.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
5. Cook the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
6. Glaze the Chicken: Pour any remaining marinade into the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
7. Prepare the Lettuce: While the chicken is cooking, wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Set aside.
8. Serve: Spoon the sticky tamarind chicken into lettuce leaves, and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
