Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Prepping! This week's contents include: 1 bag of chicken mixture. 1 head of lettuce. 1 bag of frozen gyoza from Japanese market. Dipping sauce for gyoza (can also be used as extra sauce in wraps).

Ingredients
1 teriyaki-flavored rotisserie chicken
1/4 cup red pepper, diced small
1/4 cup water chestnuts, diced small
1/4 cup bamboo shoots, diced small
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic - minced
12 lettuce leaves

Directions
1. Remove meat only from rotisserie chicken and dice small. This should give you about 2 cups of diced chicken.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken and remaining ingredients.
3. Cook until heated through -- about 5 minutes.
4. Serve with lettuce leaves for wrapping.

CHANGES? Next time instead of rotisserie, I would marinate chicken breasts in teriyaki sauce, cook and cube. The rotisserie shredded too thin and I didn't love the texture.

Side dish: Gyoza (instead of that asian salad)!

  1. Meg! We loved the lettuce wraps. Light, yet filling. Can't wait to revisit these in the summer when things heat up in the kitchen and we don't want to use the oven. So refreshing.
