Chicken Lettuce Wraps



Ingredients
3 tablespoons oil
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup water chestnuts
2/3 cup mushrooms
3 tablespoons chopped onions
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 -5 leaves iceberg lettuce

Special Sauce
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon sesame oil
1-2 teaspoon garlic and red chile paste (We used Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce instead)
1 tablespoon hot mustard
2 teaspoons water

Stir Fry Sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon rice wine vinegar Directions

Make the special sauce by dissolving the sugar in water in a small bowl. Add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ketchup, lemon juice and sesame oil. Mix well and refrigerate this sauce until you're ready to serve.

Combine the hot water with the hot mustard and set this for future use. ***Eventually you can add your desired measurement of mustard and garlic chili sauce to the special sauce mixture to pour over the wraps.

Cooking Chicken...
Bring oil to high heat in a wok or large frying pan. Saute chicken breasts for 4 to 5minutes per side or until done. Remove chicken from the pan and cool.

Keep oil in the pan, keep hot.
As chicken cools mince water chestnuts and mushrooms to about the size of small peas. Prepare the stir fry sauce by mixing the soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar together in a small bowl.
When chicken is cool, mince it as the mushrooms and water chestnuts are. With the pan still on high heat, add another Tbsp of vegetable oil. Add chicken, garlic, onions, water chestnuts and mushrooms to the pan. Add the stir fry sauce to the pan and saute the mixture for a couple minutes then serve it in the lettuce"cups". Top with"Special Sauce".

****We added 1/4 tsp of hot mustard and 1/4 tsp of Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce to the "Special Sauce" It was great! If you want more kick, just keep adding more hot mustard and Chili Sauce.

This is definitely a recipe my family enjoyed!
