Hot Chinese Chicken Salad


This was the very first meal I ever made for Mark.  We were dating for a couple of weeks, and I invited him over for dinner....I cannot eat this without thinking back to that fun evening.  Hope you enjoy it and make some memories of your own!

Hot Chinese Chicken Salad

3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts; cubed
1/4 cup corn starch
1/4 cup oil
1 large tomato; diced (I don't put this in; Mark isn't a fan.  Go figure--he eats ketchup on ketchup, but hates tomatoes!)
1 4oz can of sliced water chestnuts
1/2 lb of fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 cup coarsely chopped green onion
1 cup coarsely chopped celery
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup soy sauce 
2 cups shredded lettuce
Brown Rice

Dredge chicken in corn starch, add chicken to saute pan with oil over high heat.  Cook until brown.  Add tomato, water chestnuts, mushrooms, onions, celery, garlic powder and soy sauce.  Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. 

Place lettuce in a large bowl and top with chicken and veggies.  Lightly toss together and serve over a bed of brown rice.
