Chicken Lettuce Wraps With Asian Dipping Sauce

Description
Prune-based sauces are prized in Asian cooking.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into very small pieces
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 cups Sunsweet Prune Juice
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar
16 small butter lettuce leaves (or other desired lettuce)
Chopped peanuts, cilantro leaves and sliced green onion tops

Preparation

Heat sesame oil in medium skillet.
Add chicken and cook, stirring frequently 5 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
Add ginger and cook 1 minute more; set aside.
Combine prune juice, honey, soy sauce and rice vinegar in medium saucepan; cook over medium-high heat 20 minutes or until glaze is thickened. (Mixture will thicken as it cools.)
Stir about half the glaze into the chicken to coat well; cook chicken mixture an additional 5 minutes.
Spoon chicken into lettuce leaves and sprinkle with peanuts, cilantro and green onions. Serve remaining sauce on the side.
