Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Erin, how much do you absolutely love lettuce wraps? They are amazing! So when I found a seemingly easy recipe on how to make them, I jumped right on it. They were super yummy! Sam especially loved them and told me it was one of his favorite recipes of mine :)

Ingredients

For stir fry sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil

For Cashew Chicken:
2 chicken breasts, diced
8 leaves of greenleaf lettuce
3 tablespoons canola oil (I used vegetable oil)
1 cup onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 cup cashews, chopped

What to do:

For stir fry sauce:
Mix all ingredients making sure to dissolve brown sugar. Set aside.

For Cashew Chicken:
1. Heat canola oil in pan over medium to medium high heat. Add diced chicken and brown (about 4-5 minutes).
2. Remove chicken from oil. Add onions, garlic and 1 teaspoon soy sauce to pan; brown.
3. When onions and garlic are brown and tender, add stir fry sauce, browned chicken, and cashews.
4. Saute mixture for a few minutes and remove from heat.
5. Spoon chicken mixture into individual lettuce leaves.
