Kung Pao Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 2 cloves garlic minced

- 8 oz whole water chestnuts drained and diced
- 2 green onions sliced thinly
- salt and pepper to taste

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, dry sherry, chili garlic sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, cornstarch, sesame oil and 1/4 cup water; set aside.

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the chicken as it cooks; drain excess fat.

To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style, garnished with peanuts, if desired.
