Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I mentioned before that I had made chicken lettuce wraps as a surprise for Joe a few weeks a go. I thought I would share the recipe! We were sooo pleased with the outcome and it was super easy! They definitely have a similar taste to P.F. Chang's lettuce wraps!
Suggestion: use less cilantro as it was overpowering!

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, sliced thinly or cut into small cubes
8 button mushrooms, cut into small pieces
2 cans of water chestnuts, cut into small pieces
2 small cloves of garlic, diced
2 bunches of green onions, finely chopped
1 small bunch of cilantro, finely chopped
1/3 cup of hoisin sauce (really use any amount you like - adjust it to your taste) - this is found in the Asian section at the grocery store!
2-3 tbsp soy sauce
canola or veg oil
head of lettuce

Directions:
Cook the chicken in oil till almost done, then drop in the garlic for about a minute. Add the mushrooms and water chestnuts. Cook for another minute or so, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Add the hoisin sauce and soy sauce, mix to coat; add green onions and cilantro. Cook for another minute or so.
Serve with lettuce.
