Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 small Diced onion
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Grated ginger
- 1 4-ounce can Water chestnuts, diced
- 2 Green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 12 leaves Butterhead lettuce (or any sturdy lettuce like romaine or iceberg)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0 Optional toppings (e.g., chopped peanuts, sriracha)
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and grated ginger. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
Step 5
Add the diced water chestnuts, sliced green onions, and sesame oil to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly.
Step 7
Separate the lettuce leaves and rinse them gently under cold water. Pat them dry completely using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 8
Spoon the chicken mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf, being careful not to overfill.
Step 9
Top with optional garnishes such as chopped peanuts or a drizzle of sriracha for extra flavor, if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your easy lettuce wraps!
