AND IT'S YUMMIFUL!!!!! Megsalina the Magnificent made them a few weeks ago with Turkey Burger...I was being a little food "snotty" and wasn't so excited to go for it...as you know I like my fat...but then  my socks were ROCKED!!! You don't even need a sauce the spices here are so perfect!! And to think...a few years ago I'd never even HEARD of a lettuce wrap! Happy US!!! Come by around 6 if you just need a taste to prove to yourself its as good as I'm saying!!  It took less than a 1/2 hour to prepare, the recipe LOOKS daunting, but oh, no...SO NOT! Here ya go!

Serves 2-3
Ingredients:
1lb ground chicken breast (like I said, Megs went HEALTHY and used ground Turkey)
1/2 medium onion, minced
salt & pepper, a dash of each
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 inch gnob fresh ginger, peeled & minced
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
2 1/2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 Tablespoon water
1 Tablespoon natural peanut butter
1/2 Tablespoon honey
1 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce (or more if you like it hotter)
dash of fresh pepper
3 green onions, chopped
1/2-8oz can sliced water chestnuts, drained & chopped
1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
10-12 large outer lettuce leaves, rinsed and patted dry
Directions:
1. Heat a large, non-stick skillet on high. Add chicken, onion, salt & pepper, and cook until chicken is nearly done, stirring often to break up the meat. Add in minced garlic and ginger, and continue cooking until chicken is no longer pink.
2. Meanwhile, in a microwave safe bowl, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, water, peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce and pepper. Microwave for 20 seconds, then stir until smooth. Add into the skillet and stir to combine.
3 Add green onion and water chestnuts into the skillet then cook for 1-2 minutes until the onions are soft and the water chestnuts are heated through.
4. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts, and serve with cold lettuce leaves
