This can be served hot or cold. I enjoy it hot. I also use chopped chicken as I like the texture better. If you do use ground chicken, be sure to brown it for a more pleasing color and flavor.

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 16

head iceberg lettuce or romaine lettuce leaves (whichever you prefer)
Sauce:
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 teaspoon sugar
Remaining Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 slice ginger, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 green onions, chopped
1 lb cooked chicken breast, sliced
1 red pepper, seeded and diced
1 can water chestnuts, rinsed in warm running water and chopped
1 stalk celery, diced
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Wash the lettuce, dry, and separate the leaves. Set aside. Mix together the sauce ingredients. Heat the sesame oil in a non-stick frying pan on high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and green onions and fry until the garlic and ginger are aromatic. Add the chicken and cook until the chicken is browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Add the red pepper, water chestnuts, and celery to the frying pan. Add the sauce ingredients and cook at medium heat, Give the cornstarch/water mixture a quick restir and add to the sauce, stirring to thicken. Add the chicken back into the wok. Cook for 2 - 3 more minutes, stirring, to heat through and finish cooking the chicken. Lay out a lettuce leaf and spoon a heaping teaspoon of the chicken and vegetable/sauce mixture into the middle. The lettuce wraps are designed to be eaten "taco-style," with the lettuce/chicken mixture folded into a package. Continue with the remainder of the chicken and lettuce leaves. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lettuce: Use large, sturdy lettuce leaves that can hold the filling without tearing. Boston bibb, butterhead, and romaine lettuce are all good choices.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked through: To ensure food safety, cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your lettuce wraps will taste. Use fresh, crisp lettuce, ripe vegetables, and flavorful herbs.
  • Don't overstuff the lettuce wraps: You want to be able to fold the lettuce leaves easily without them tearing. Overstuffing them will make them difficult to eat.
  • Serve the lettuce wraps immediately: Lettuce wraps are best served fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. When you're ready to serve, bring them to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Asian chicken lettuce wraps are a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as an appetizer. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
