ingredients

• 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1⁄4 cup daikon radish, shredded (I used just regular radish)
• 2 carrots, shredded
• 1⁄4 cup bean sprouts
• 1⁄2 cup scallion, chopped (about 3)
• 1⁄4 cup szechuan sauce
• 1 tablespoon Chinese five spice powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 head bibb lettuce

directions

1. Split boneless chicken in half. It too thick, pound out to make thinner.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together radish, carrots, bean sprouts and scallions. Add Szechwan sauce.
3. In a small bowl, mix together five-spice, cayenne, salt and pepper. Season chicken lightly with rub. Cut the chicken into strips.
4. In a large skillet over high heat, add the oil. Once hot, sear the chicken for 4 minutes on each side. Add butter and lemon to pan and baste the chicken for another minute. Remove chicken to a platte to let cool.
5. Once cooled, dice or shred chicken.
6. Place a spoonful of the vegetable mixture and the shredded chicken onto each leaf or lettuce. Roll and serve.
