Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup water chestnuts finely diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms chopped
  • 1 small yellow onion minced
  • 1/3 cup green onions sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 –10 large lettuce leaves Bibb or iceberg, washed and dried

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs, water chestnuts, mushrooms, yellow onion, 1/3 cup green onions, soy sauce, ginger, and brown sugar. Toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink and vegetables are tender, about 12–15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf.
  4. Top with extra green onions, chopped peanuts, or sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
