Asian Lettuce Wraps

I have always loved Asian lettuce wraps from Pei Wei, but I've never tried to make them myself. I was so excited when I found this recipe. These lettuce wraps are healthy and taste great!


Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Medium Onion
2 Celery Stalks
1/2 c Hoisin Sauce
3 Tbsp Soy Sauce
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1/4 tsp Ground Ginger or 2 Tbsp Fresh Ginger
1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp Sesame Oil
5 oz Bamboo Shoots, canned and drained
12 oz Sliced Water Chestnuts, canned and drained
1 c Fresh Bean Sprouts
4 Green Onions
1/4 c Fresh Cilantro, minced
14 Iceburg Lettuce Leaves
1/4c Hoisin Sauce



Chop the onion, celery, and green onion. Store the green onion for later use.


Add the chicken, onion, celery, hoisin sauce, soy suace, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts to the slow cooker.


Cover and cook on Low 6 to 8 hours or High for 3 to 4 hours.

30 minutes before the end of cooking mix in the green onion, bean sprouts, and cilantro.


Rinse the lettuce and seperate the whole leaves.


To serve, spoon the mixture into a lettuce leaf and drizzle with additional hoisin sauce. Then roll the filled lettuce leaf.



This recipe is very healthy and had a yummy sweet asian taste. I would definitely make it again. :D I love the crispiness of the water chestnuts!
