Chicken Lettuce Wraps- by Ela

Ingredients:

-Chicken (6-8 med. sized breasts) marinate meat overnight or at least for a couple hours in:

-few Tbs. olive or veg. oil
-1 cup kinkoman soysauce
-few Tbs of crushed garlic

...cook chicken (bake or just on the stove top is fine)

while chicken is cooking:

-saute ginger root, garlic (I use ginger/garlic paste- about a few Tbs), some grn onions and 1 pkg mushrooms.

-chop everything w/ a chopper to fine pieces (pretty much a "diced" consistency).

-Open 2 cans of waterchestnuts and dice w/ chopper.

add ALL ingredients together, including the chicken, and heat through- you can add a bit more soy sauce if you need it from the drained sauce from the chicken...

serve over pieces of iceberg lettuce in a "lettuce wrap" and enjoy!

Dipping sauce:
Sriracha sauce mixed w mayonnaise and sesame oil.
