1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into small cubes
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
4 scallions, chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
1 cup sliced water chestnuts
12 Bibb lettuce leaves
In a large bowl combine the hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, and the sesame oil; stir in the chicken.
Toss to coat chicken well. Set aside and let marinade for 10 minutes.
Spray a 10 or 12-inch nonstick skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the chicken, saving the marinade. Cook chicken for 5 minutes, stirring until browned. Add the scallions, carrots, garlic, and ginger; cook 3 minutes or until veggies are tender. Stir in the reserved marinade and the water; bring to a boil and cook 2 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in the walnuts and water chestnuts.
Divide the lettuce leaves putting 3 leaves on each of 4 serving plates. Fill each leaf with 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture. Roll mixture in lettuce to eat.

WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD
I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.
