Lettuce leaves


Preparation

• Mix all of the ingredients except for the lettuce leaves together in a nonreactive bowl. Cover and refrigerate. Allow the mixture to marinate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

• Sauté the marinated chicken in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

• To serve, put two or three cubes of chicken on a cocktail pick, repeating until all of the chicken is used. Arrange on a bed of lettuce and garnish with chopped cilantro.
