Chicken Lettuce Wraps

So these are supposedly PF Chang's lettuce wraps, but I don't think they are exactly, but still very yummy. I got it from a ward cookbook we did in Cali, and I've been dying to try them and finally did last night. I am now on a quest to find one that's even more like PF Chang's, but I thought I would share these as they are a nice healthy, easy and yummy meal. 
PF Chang's Lettuce Wraps

3 TBS oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 cup chopped water chesnuts
3 TBS chopped green onions
1 tsp. mined garlic
8-10 lettuce leaves

Fry Sauce*
2 TBS soy sauce
2 TBS brown sugar
1/2 tsp. rice vinegar

Bring oil to high heat in frying pan. Saute chicken for 4-5 minutes.
While the chicken is cooking, mince chesnuts, garlic, and onions.
Remove the chicken from the pan. Keep oil hot, adding 1 more
tablespoon of oil and the chesnuts, garlic and onions, saute them. In a
small bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar and vinegar until well
blened. Place the chicken back in the pan, adding the fry sauce. Saute a
few more minutes.
Serve a scoop of chicken mixture with some lettuce leaves, wrapping it
up in the lettuce.
*I actually used twice the amount of fry sauce. I also think to make them even more healthy, they could be made with less oil.
