Take that PF Chang's! Lettuce Wraps

This is my favorite item on the menu at PF Chang's, lettuce wraps. I've seen several versions of this but tonight this is what I threw together with what I had. I mostly see this served with iceberg lettuce, but I use butter lettuce. It's much heartier and wraps up even better without falling apart. It's also a leafier, darker green, far more nutritious than iceberg!




(Serves 6)
Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts, diced
8 oz (1 pck) of mushrooms, diced
1/2 red pepper, diced
8 oz of bean sprouts
chopped garlic, 1 clove
Butter lettuce

Sauce:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup of honey
2 TBSP peanut butter
fresh grated ginger (about 1 TBSP)
fresh minced garlic (about 1 TBSP)
A few glugs of rice vinegar
1 TBSP sesame oil
soy sauce to taste

Instructions:

Heat a pan on medium heat, add oil (2 turn turns of the pan, I used olive) and add chicken. brown the chicken on all sides and then put into a bowl and set aside.

In the same hot pan, add the garlic, mushroom, peppers and bean sprouts. Cook them down until soft. You'll know they are almost ready when the youngest kid comes down and says "What's that smell?"

Then add back the chicken and cook for awhile longer. Toss with the sauce.
I made some brown rice to go with it, but that's optional, my kids like it, they also liked putting together their own lettuce wraps and who doesn't love a finger food?

Enjoy!




Enjoy!
