Chinese Chicken and Mushroom Lettuce Cups

Tonight's dinner comes from the May edition of Cooking Light. They suggest that it is to be served as an appetizer, but it was definitely enough for dinner. Also, this was super easy, very tasty and really low calories....only 103 per serving.

I couldn't find any cremini mushrooms, so used button instead, but this didn't seem to effect the taste. I also forgot to add the water chestnuts, but again, I didn't notice until I was writing out the recipe. They would have given a nice crunch though.
