Chcken Lettuce Wraps

2 Chicken breasts, chopped
½ bag of Trader Joe’s Soycutash
3 cloves of garlic, chopped finely
½ bunch cilantro, chopped
2 Tb holy basil, chopped
1 can water chestnuts, finely chopped
3 Tb EVOO
2 Tb Soy Sauce
2 Tb Rice Vinegar
1 Tb fish sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 Tb honey
1 tsp garlic powder
Bibb Lettuce
Chopped peanuts
Sriracha

I marinated the chicken in the soy sauce, vinegar, fish sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder and honey for 15 minutes. I cooked the chicken on high heat in the EVOO. After the chicken was getting mostly cooked, I added the Soycutash and let that cook until it was cooked through and starting to caramelize. I then added the garlic and water chestnuts. I let that cook for a few minutes before adding the cilantro and holy basil. I turned off the heat after just a minute or so. Then, we ate it wrapped up in the lettuce with chopped peanuts and Sriracha on top. The babies and Maya just ate it with the rice I made (sesame mango rice, not especially awesome).

This was well received by everyone. I realize it’s not of a particular ethnic persuasion. It’s just “kind of Asian,” which is vague, at best. However, it was small pieces, easily eaten by all and was actually quite good. It had veggies and protein and was really easy to make. I think, including prep, it took me 45 minutes.
