Preparation
Step 1
To Make The Orange Sauce:
Step 2
Whisk all ingredients together in a large saute pan (or you can whisk it together in a smaller bowl and then add it to the saute pan) until combined, adding sriracha if desired to taste.
Step 3
Turn the stove burner to medium-high, and heat the sauce until it reaches a simmer, stirring occasionally. After it simmers for about a minute, the sauce should thicken. Then it will be ready to use with the recipe.
Step 4
To Make The Orange Chicken Lettuce Cups:
Step 5
Prepare orange sauce as directed above.
Step 6
Once it’s ready, stir the chicken, diced orange, water chestnuts, and green onions into the sauce until combined. Continue cooking over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes until all of the ingredients are warmed through.
Step 7
Remove from heat, and portion the chicken mixture into the lettuce cups. Sprinkle with your desired toppings, and serve immediately.
