Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Alright! I am sorry I did not post this yesterday!


Chicken Lettuce Wraps

2 tbs olive oil
1 pound diced chicken
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 large red bell pepper, finely diced
1 8 ounce can of water chestnuts, rinsed and chopped
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
6-8 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tsp cinnamon
1tsp chili powder
salt and pepper
one to two heads of lettuce
1 cup brown rice

Bring 1 cup chicken broth to boil in saucepan add brown rice, reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for 6 minutes (brown rice for any occasion cooked this way is very tasty).

Original recipe suggests cooking chicken in sesame oil, I do not like the taste so I use regular olive oil. Cook chicken and ginger until chicken is cooked through.

Add 1/2 cup chicken broth, bell pepper, water chestnuts, spices and carrot and let simmer for about 8 minutes to desired vegetable taste. Add hoisin sauce and about 1/2 cup of brown rice, cook for 2 more minutes.

Place brown rice and chicken mix on large lettuce leaves and enjoy! Brown rice also works well as a side if you desire one.
