Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Sivai even ate this! Works great as a salad too.

Chicken mixture
3 TB oil
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced onion
1 tsp minced garlic

Lettuce for wraps
bean sprouts
julienned carrots
cilantro
anything else that sounds good :)

Stir Fry Sauce
2 TB soy sauce
2 TB brown sugar
1/2 tsp vinegar, whatever you have

Special Sauce, prepare ahead of time and refrigerate
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 TB soy sauce
2 TB vinegar
2 TB ketchup
1 TB lemon juice
2 TB red chile sauce, or red pepper flakes to taste

1.Bring oil to high heat in a wok or large frying pan. Brown on both sides (it's okay if chicken is not cooked through).
2. Remove chicken and dice into 1/2 inch pieces, at the same time add diced onion and celery to hot pan while cutting chicken.
3. Prepare stir fry sauce.
4. Put chicken and stir fry sauce back into pan, stirring so chicken is coated. Cook until chicken is down and vegetables are tender.

Make wraps and enjoy!

1/2 c. melted butter
1 (8oz.) pkg cream cheese
1 c. sugar
1 small container whipped topping, thawed
1 large pkg. strawberry jello
2 c.hot water
1/2 c. cold water
1 large pkg. frozen strawberries

Combine pretzels, 2Tbsp. sugar, and butter; press into a greased 9X13 inch pan. Bake at 350F for 8 minutes; cool. Combine cream cheese, 1c. sugar, and whipped topping. Spread over pretzel layer. Dissolve gelatine in hot water; add cold water and allow to stand to semi-gel stage. Add frozen strawberries. Pour over cream cheese layer and refrigerate until firm (this last step takes awhile, overnight is a great idea). Yumm Yumm, you've gotta try it!
