1 tablespoon oil
1 small onion, diced
3/4 cup brown sugar

Directions

Step 1 - Prepare the Hawaiian Chicken

Preheat a large, deep frying pan to medium-high heat.
In a shallow dish, mix potato starch with salt and pepper. Coat all chicken pieces well with potato starch mixture.
Add oil to hot pan. Brown the chicken for one to two minutes on each side. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
Add onion to the pan. Add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Sauté onions for three to four minutes, until translucent.
Add the rest of the ingredients besides for the chicken. Mix well and bring to a boil. Place browned chicken back into the pan with sauce and lower flame to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink inside.

Step 2 - Prepare the Lettuce Wraps

On a serving plate or tray, lay lettuce down in a single layer. Place two to three tablespoons of chicken in the center. Top with onions and carrots.
Serve immediately.
