Chicken Lettuce Wraps

By nicolecluff

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp canola oil
• 1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
• Pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp grated ginger
• 1 bunch scallions, trimmed and sliced
• 1 8-oz can sliced water chestnuts, drained
• 1/4 cup cashews, chopped
• 1 small head lettuce, leaves separated

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the soy sauce and honey in a small bowl; set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with 1/2 tsp pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Lower heat to medium and stir in the garlic and ginger. Add the scallions and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the water chestnuts and the soy sauce mixture and continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle with the cashews. Divide the lettuce leaves onto plates and spoon the chicken into the leaf. Wrap up and enjoy!
