Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (can substitute for leftover chicken or turkey - about three cups)
  • 3 green onions
  • 8 oz water chestnuts (small can)
  • 1 cup mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • rice sticks (and oil to cook them in)
  • head of lettuce ( to serve them in)

Instruction

  • In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add chicken, cut into pieces, and cook while stirring until cooked through. While chicken is cooking, finely dice mushrooms, water chestnuts, and green onions. Remove chicken from heat after it is done and dice.
  • Combine the soy sauce and brown sugar, stir well. Add chicken, mushrooms, water chestnuts, and green onions back to the skillet. Stir in the sauce. Cook and stir over medium heat until heated through.
  • For the rice sticks, place one to two inches of oil in a small saucepot. Heat over medium heat for several minutes. Break off a handful of rice noodles and drop them into the pot, immediately removing them to a paper towel-lined plate when they puff up.
  • Serve chicken mixture in the lettuce leaves, topped with crunchy rice noodles. Eat like a taco. Repeat as necessary.
