I have been craving lettuce wraps like crazy lately. I searched for recipes, and then took the stuff I liked from several and combined them to fit my tastes. What I came up with was super tasty and I got lots of compliments on it.
Chicken Marinate
3 tbs lime juice
1 tbs curry powder
2 tsp honey
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp salt
2 tbs crushed garlic
Mix all together and marinate for at least 4 hours.
2 heads lettuce, romaine or butter
4 chicken breasts
1 pkg mushrooms, diced
1 lg onion, diced
1 can water chestnuts, diced
1 bunch green onions, just the green partsB sliced
1/4 c hoisin sauce
2 tbs crushed ginger
2 tbs crushed garlic
2 tbs soy sauce
2 tbs rice wine vinegar
2 tsp sesame oil
Toppings
Fried rice noodles
Thinly sliced carrots
Hoisin sauce
Sweet chili sauce
Chopped cashews
Remove chicken from marinate and discard the remaining marinate. Rough chop the chicken and place 1 breast at a time in the blender and pulse until its nicely chopped up. Heat pam or cooking oil in a large skillet and brown chicken. Remove chicken and set aside. Add onions and mushrooms to the same skillet, cook until onions are soft. Add garlic, water chestnuts, and ginger, stir and add soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce. Bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the sesame oil and green onions.
Scoop into lettuce leaves and top with your favorites.
