Mah Chicken Wraps

I like experiencing snow in Utah.

Since it's been very slow at Old Navy (it's like they announced we were closing, and things came to a stand-still-- it's mind-numbingly boring, but at the same time, at least I'm getting paid something), I have been spending extra time in the kitchen. Which is kinda nice, now that I have the new elliptical trainer I don't have to brave the Utah winter as much (which is good, because I'm positive the inversion is killing me), and I like focusing on what I'm putting into my body. 

Making the monthly menu has also helped put in time in the kitchen-- I basically envision what I want, then make it happen. The kitchen is where I truly succeed at the game of Life, plus, I'm a believer that the more I learn about nutrition in the kitchen I'm more likely to get a handle on PCOS, and make my body healthy enough to build a family.

Tonight I made Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and they turned out A-mah-zing! 

The finished concoction 

Ingredients
1 Tablespoon Sesame Seed Oil

1 pound Ground Chicken

1 large onion chopped

6 cloves of garlic

2 Tablespoon Liquid Aminos
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 to 2 inches grated ginger root
2 Tablespoon Rice Wine Vinegar
3 teaspoon to 4 Tablespoon sriracha
1 bunch of green onions
Bibb or Butter Lettuce leaves
Roasted Peanuts, chopped (optional)

I ground my own chickens, but one can also pick up some ground chicken at their local WinCo. After grinding the meat I put my wok over medium heat and put the sesame seed oil in to get hot. Once the chicken is cooked through I put in the onion, and garlic-- when everything started smelling super good I added in the Liquid Aminos, hoisin sauce, rice wine vinegar, grated the ginger root, and added Sriracha.

This is what it's gonna look like. Nom, nom. 

With sriracha hot sauce you can notice that there is some in there after about 3 teaspoons. I added 4 tablespoons to this dish, and that REALLY cleared Marc's sinuses, but was totally perfect for this Chindian.

At the very end I added in a bunch of green onions, then served open-faced on some fresh lettuce.

I've been buying this and letting it live on my counter for a week at a time.

IT LIVES!

I filled the lettuce with a few heaping spoonfuls of the chicken mixture

Viola! 10 minute prep time, and 10 minute cook time

Anyways, I am looking forward to my kitchen over-haul, making the grocery list, and preping for next week. Good nutrition, high activity, supplement, hydrate, and smile.
