Chicken lettuce wraps with jicama

Chicken second courses

Perfect for the warmer months, this recipe for Chicken Lettuce Cups with Jicama is a flavorful & healthy way to use the season's best produce. Tender chicken & mushrooms are flavored with soy sauce & rice wine vinegar, then sauteed with garlic, scallions, and jalapenos.The unexpected crisp bite of jicama makes a great textural counterpoint to the softer chicken & mushrooms, and is also a fantastic healthy alternative to the hard to find (at least in my area) traditional fresh water chestnuts.
