Corcoran Street Kitchen: Chicken Lettuce Wraps

It has been a busy couple of weeks here on Corcoran Street Kitchen. This past weekend was spent at home with the cutest boy baby in the world, my cousin Brooks. Not only is he super cute, he is super HEAVY! My arms feel like spaghetti noodles after a weekend of snuggling and baby carrying. I don't know how mommy Christy does it! Also, I've been treated to a lot of meals from family and friends these past few days. Christy made us a delicious dinner when Mark and I visited and I was obviously super excited to eat with my mom and dad at home. That brings us back to DC. I was so sleepy after such a big weekend, but I still wanted something special for dinner. This meal was quick, healthy, and really full of flavor. This is an easy meal to get on the table and you get to play with your food. I bet kids would love it too. Mark went back for a plate of seconds that was bigger than his firsts!

Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients:
1 red pepper
4 green onions
3 garlic cloves
3 Tbs. vegetable oil
2 tsp. sesame oil
1 lb. ground chicken (or turkey)
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbs. Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
1 Tbs. Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbs. Honey
1 Tbs. Sriracha
2 tsp. sesame seeds
1 head Romaine or Butter Lettuce

1. Chop pepper, garlic, and green onions.

2. Heat vegetable and sesame oil over high heat. When oil is hot, add chicken and sprinkle with 1 tsp. salt. Break up the chicken with your spoon so that it cooks in pieces.
3. Add the chopped vegetables and cook with the chicken for 5 minutes.

4. Add the soy, Worcestershire, honey, and Sriracha. Stir to mix, lower heat to medium, and cook for another 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the mixture from the heat and add the sesame seeds and mix to combine.
