Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 4 green onions, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, gluten-free
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sriracha
• 1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, drained and chopped
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 1 head butter lettuce
• 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your ingredients: mince the garlic and ginger, chop the green onions, drain and chop the water chestnuts, and grate the carrot.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula or spoon. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped green onions, gluten-free soy sauce, gluten-free hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Mix well to combine, letting the ingredients meld together for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the chopped water chestnuts and grated carrot to the mixture. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still have some crunch.

Step 6

Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 7

Remove from heat and prepare the lettuce. Separate the leaves of the butter lettuce and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 8

To assemble the wraps, spoon the chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf, sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves, and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy these refreshing Gluten-Free Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps.
