Kosher or fine sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 large carrot, shredded

½ cup Terrapin Ridge Farms Pineapple Aji Amarillo Jam

1 head butter lettuce or Bibb lettuce, leaves separated

Directions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, season lightly with salt, pepper, and the garlic powder. Sauté until golden brown and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.
