Serves: 4 wraps


Ingredients
3 tbsp chicken broth
2 tbsp plus 2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce, divided
1 tbsp sherry or additional chicken broth
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 lb ground chicken

Step by Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine the broth, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, sherry and cornstarch; set aside. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add carrot and ginger; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until carrot is tender.
  2. Meanwhile, for dipping sauce, combine the preserves, hoisin sauce, pepper sauce and remaining soy sauce; set aside. Stir cornstarch mixture; add to chicken. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in green onion.
  3. Divide chicken mixture among lettuce leaves. Fold lettuce over filling. Serve with dipping sauce.
