You can tell when the chicken is done by pressing down on the middle of each chicken breast. It should be firm.
5. Remove the cooked chicken breast to a cutting board and slice it into strips with a sharp knife. Keep the pan hot. Load the chicken back into the same pan over medium/high heat, and add the water chestnuts. Heat for 1 minute.
6. Add 5 tablespoons of the stir fry sauce to the chicken and heat for 2 minutes, stirring often. The sauce should be bubbling.
7. Add the slice green onions and stir. The chicken is done.
8. Prepare each serving plate with a bed of bean threads. Spoon one-fourth of the chicken onto the bean threads. Sprinkle the chicken with about a tablespoon of sliced almonds. Add three leaves of butter lettuce to the plate, along with a garnish of shredded carrots. Repeat for the remaining servings. Serve with the sesame-ginger dipping sauce and peanut dipping sauce on the side.
