Chop the lettuces into fine shreds.
Deglaze the pan with some of the chicken stock then add the rest.
Add the lettuce, stirring to make sure it doesn’t stick to the sides or bottom of the pan.

Return to the pan, add salt and pepper to taste.

Household Cleaning Tip

Occasionally, all of us spill food on our clothes. And, many foods can leave stains. It can be difficult to completely remove the stain, especially on white clothes. Here’s how to completely remove those pesky food stains:

First, act quickly. Do not let the stain dry.
Second, wipe off excess food. Work carefully to avoid spreading it.
Next, apply liquid laundry detergent directly to the stain. Let it stand for 10 to 20 minutes.
Finally, put it in the wash.
If this does not get all of the stain out, then repeat these steps.
