Makes 10 servings.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of hot cooked Kashi® 7 Whole Grain Pilaf
  • 2 free-range chicken breasts cut into ¼” – ½” dice
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce for marinating chicken
  • 1 teaspoon expeller pressed canola oil
  • 2 cloves organic garlic, minced
  • ⅓ cup finely diced organic carrots
  • 1 can water chestnuts, minced
  • 2 organic green onions, finely sliced
  • 5 organic shiitake mushrooms, diced
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 4 teaspoons naturally prepared hoisin sauce
  • 1 round-shaped organic head of lettuce such as iceberg or Boston to make lettuce cups

Directions

  1. Cook Kashi Pilaf according to package instructions.
  2. Marinate diced chicken breast in 2 teaspoons of soy sauce while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
  3. To make lettuce cups, cut each leaf at the stem and carefully peel the leaf off. The outermost leaves will be large so you can cut them in half.
  4. Heat canola oil in non-stick wok over medium high heat.
  5. Add chicken, soy sauce marinade, and garlic to wok and stir-fry until chicken is no longer pink, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. Add carrots and stir-fry 1 minute.
  7. Add hot cooked Kashi Pilaf to wok and stir-fry 1 minute.
  8. Add water chestnuts, green onions, shiitake mushrooms, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. Stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.
  9. Serve family-style so each person can fill lettuce cups to their liking with extra hoisin sauce if desired.

    Just what I was looking for! Looks very good and not too “weird” for my 90-yr-old father. I’ll try it soon.

    The recipe looks scrumptious. I will try it. Also I wonder if it would work with tofu instead of chicken.

    You can buy the Braggs amino acid in the health food section of most food stores or your natural health food stores for sure.

    There is a website for Braggs. If you google searh Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar with Mother it should come up. On that website you can buy the amino acids.

    This recipe was on one of the 7 grain boxes, I made it, and sure enough it was a hit except that I didn’t use hoisin beccause it’s spicy for my hubby, so i just used bragg’s all natural amino acid and a few drops of toasted sesame oil. Totally delish~!
