How To Make chicken lettuce wraps

  • 1
    To make the sauce, whisk together all ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • 2
    To make the wraps, heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and break it up as it browns. When the chicken is about halfway browned, add the onion and red pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onions and pepper soften.
  • 3
    Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic and water chestnuts, cooking for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
  • 4
    Whisk the sauce that you set aside and then add it to the skillet with the chicken and veggies. Stir to coat and simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat everything through.
  • 5
    Spoon several tablespoons of the mixture into the lettuce leaves. Top with the sliced green onions and chopped peanuts. For best results, enjoy promptly.
