Yummy Chicken Cabbage or Lettuce Wraps

It was fun to try something new. It is so easy to think we need to wrap our food in tortillas and wraps. It was a fun change to wrap it in cabbage. It is a great way to eat more greens as well. My son ate 6 or 7 of them. I know he would not been as excited to eat the cabbage, if it had been in a salad. You can roll them up, or fold it over and eat it like a taco.

1/8 C honey

3. Put a large pot on the stove, pour olive oil in the pan. Pour chicken tenders into the pan with sesame seeds, cook until lightly browned. Then add water chestnuts, onion, leek, brown rice and garlic. Pour on the stir-fry sauce. Stir it all together. Cook it another 5 to 10 min. on med. low.

4. Serve the stir-fry with the cabbage or lettuce leaves. Pour the Pouring sauce in individual small bowls. (So they can pour or dip it individually).

* I really enjoyed the nappa cabbage. It seemed like a combination of a cabbage and lettuce combined. It was a fun and yummy meal.
