Description

Prune-based sauces are prized in Asian cooking.

 

Ingredients

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into very small pieces

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

2 cups Sunsweet Prune Juice

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

16 small butter lettuce leaves (or other desired lettuce)

Chopped peanuts, cilantro leaves and sliced green onion tops

 

Preparation

Prep time: 10 minutes | Cook time: 30 minutes

 

Heat sesame oil in medium skillet. Add chicken and cook, stirring frequently 5 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Add ginger and cook 1 minute more; set aside. Combine prune juice, honey, soy sauce and rice vinegar in medium saucepan; cook over medium-high heat 20 minutes or until glaze is thickened. (Mixture will thicken as it cools.) Stir about half the glaze into the chicken to coat well; cook chicken mixture an additional 5 minutes. Spoon chicken into lettuce leaves and sprinkle with peanuts, cilantro and green onions. Serve remaining sauce on the side.
