 Wow, guys. I mean, WOW. I surprised myself with this invention. So delicious, and just as good as in the restaurants! This was super easy: no crazy concoctions or techniques, so ANYONE can do it. Personally, I'm not a fan of water chestnut, which would ordinarily go in a recipe like this, so I substituted diced celery for a nice crunch. Ginger adds a wonderful bite of flavor, and the mandarin oranges add the perfect sweetness for a nice twist! NOTE: You can use any lettuce, such as Bibb, for lettuce wraps. I chose a two-bite appetizer serving, so endive was my lettuce of choice. Too, you can make a salad out of the whole thing by serving the chicken mix over a bed of lettuce and using the sauce as a dressing! --- Jenny THAI SESAME GINGER CHICKEN BITES ON ENDIVE WITH PEANUT SAUCE 1 breast of chicken, cooked and diced 1 cup shredded carrot 1/2 cup diced celery 1/4 cup diced onion 1 clove garlic, minced 1-2 tbsp ginger, minced 8 oz can mandarin oranges, drained and diced 2-3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds 1 tbsp sesame oil 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar 1 tsp salt Mix all ingredients well.
