Ingredients:

• 1 lb raw chicken breast, minced
• Iceberg lettuce, 9 large leaves
• 1 cup water chestnuts (from can, drained), slivered
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp peanut oil
• 2 tbsp white cooking wine
• 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce (soy sauce can be substituted)
• salt, to taste

Instructions:

Marinate the minced chicken breast for 5-10 minutes (while preparing other ingredients) in the cooking wine, garlic, and teriyaki sauce. Heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat, and then add the diced chicken in its marinade. Stir-fry for about 10 minutes, until chicken is cooked, adding the water chestnuts about half-way through.

Place the stir-fried mixture on a large plate by itself, and serve the lettuce and bean sprouts separately. Make the wraps as you eat them by adding the stir-fried mixture and then the bean sprouts to the middle of a lettuce leaf, and then folding over into a spring roll shape.
