Instructions

1. 1Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and no longer pink inside.
2. 2While the chicken cooks, prepare the teriyaki sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth, then stir in the brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, fresh ginger (minced), and garlic powder until combined.
3. 3Once the chicken is cooked through, add the broccoli florets, bell pepper (diced), and carrots (sliced thin) to the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften.
4. 4Pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet along with the water chestnuts. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium and cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. 5Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes. Divide the teriyaki chicken mixture evenly into 6 airtight containers while warm.
6. 6Store the iceberg lettuce leaves separately in a container lined with paper towels. Keep cashews, green onions, and sesame seeds in individual small containers.
7. 7To serve, arrange lettuce leaves on a plate, spoon the teriyaki chicken mixture onto each leaf, and top with cashews, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds.
