Cherry Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Cherry Chicken Lettuce Wraps

• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root (I skip, but add a bit of ground ginger if you like)
  
• 2-3 chicken breasts, cooked and chopped (I cook mine in the crockpot with a little teriyaki sauce)
• 2/3 c. chopped fresh mushrooms
  
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
• 2 t. honey or 1 T brown sugar
  
• 1/3 c. craisins
  
• 3/4 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup chopped green onion
• 1/3 cup toasted and sliced almonds (optional)
  
• 12 leaves of lettuce (I used red leaf because it's healthier, but iceberg is crisp and rolls up better)

1. In a large bowl, whisk together remaining 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, teriyaki sauce and honey until mixed together. Add chicken mixture, craisins, mushrooms, carrot, green onion and almonds; toss together.
2. To Serve: Spoon 1/12 of the chicken/cherry mixture onto the center of each lettuce leaf; roll up leaf around filling and serve.

These are fun to eat and tasty. A light meal. You might want to supplement it with a fruit salad or some rice. These are supposed to resemble PF Chang's lettuce wraps. You can make your own dipping sauce using teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, and garlic powder.
