Savor your favorite Asian flavors with a new take on Thai lettuce 
wraps. For this dish, combine chicken, carrots, water chestnuts, and 
omega-3 rich walnuts and spice it with ginger, scallions, and garlic. 
Then, simply drop the mixture on crisp lettuce leaves, roll it up, 
and enjoy! 

SERVES: 4
PREP: 17 min
COOK: 12 min
TOTAL: 29 min

2 Tbsp hoisin sauce
2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 Tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/4" cubes
4 scallions, chopped
2 carrots, shredded (about 1 1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp finely chopped ginger
1/4 cup water
2 oz walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 cup sliced canned water chestnuts
12 Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves 

1. In a medium bowl, stir together the hoisin, vinegar, soy sauce, and 
oil. Stir in the chicken, tossing to coat. Let stand 10 minutes.

2. Heat a nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. 
Remove the chicken from the marinade with a slotted spoon. Reserve the
marinade. Cook chicken for 5 minutes, stirring, until browned. Add the
scallions, carrots, garlic, and ginger and cook for 3 minutes, or until 
tender. Stir in the reserved marinade and the water. Cook, bringing to 
a boil and stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until thickened. 
Stir in the walnuts and water chestnuts.

3. Place 3 lettuce leaves on each of 4 plates and fill with 1/4 cup 
of the chicken mixture.
