Steph's Lettuce Wraps

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts, tenderized and diced into 1/4" pieces

1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced finely

1/2 red bell pepper, diced finely

1/2 white onion, diced finely

3 green onions, diced finely, divided

3 Tblsp. minced garlic, divided

1 pack Sun-Bird Beef & Broccoli seasoning mix (unmixed)

2 Tblsp roasted garlic seasoned rice vinegar

1 Tblsp. light brown sugar

1 cup water, divided

1 Tblsp. sesame seeds

1 Tblsp. Korean Soybean Dipping Paste 

2 Tblsp. olive oil, divided

Lettuce leaves - iceberg, Romaine, butter, etc., enough for 4 people

Preparation:

1. Mix together Beef & Broccoli seasoning mix with vinegar, brown sugar and 3/4 cup of the water until fully dissolved. Set mixture aside.

2. Mix the Soybean Dipping Paste with 1/4 cup of the water until fully dissolved. Set mixture aside.

3. Heat cast iron skillet to high heat, then add 1 Tblsp. olive oil, 1 Tblsp. of the garlic, all of the peppers, all of the white onion and half of the green onions.

4. Cook vegetables until tender, then add the Soybean Dipping Paste mixture and 1/8 cup of the Beef & Broccoli seasoning mix mixture. 

5. Stir as the mixture thickens (probably about 90 seconds), then remove from skillet and keep warm. 

6. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 Tblsp. of olive oil and all of the chicken. Distribute chicken evenly around the skillet.

7. Let the chicken start to brown slightly, then stir/turn the chicken. If chicken starts to release a lot of liquid, scoot chicken to one side and remove liquid either by using a paper towel to absorb it, or tilt the skillet and dump it out.

8. Add remaining 2 Tblsp. of garlic to the chicken, and continue to cook until chicken is done, about 4 minutes.

9. Add sesame seeds and remaining Beef & Broccoli seasoning mixture to the chicken in the skillet.

10. Stir mixture into chicken and allow it to thicken (probably 2-3 minutes).

11. To serve, place 1-2 Tblsp. of the vegetable mixture in the lettuce leaf, then top with 1-2 Tblsp. of the chicken.

NOTE: Vegetables and chicken can be mixed together before serving, if desired.
