Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Continue cooking while adding vegetables. I added shredded carrots, broccoli cut into small pieces, water chestnuts cut into quarters, Italian green beans cut into small pieces (slender whole beans cut up would work), red pepper, green onion (or use onion powder), baby corn cobs cut into 2 or 3 slices, and whatever else you would
