Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 0.33 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, minced
- 3 Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 1 Carrot, grated
- 12 Butter lettuce leaves, washed and dried
- 0.25 tsp Salt

Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, if necessary. Add minced garlic and ginger to the chicken and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the hoisin sauce mixture, chopped water chestnuts, grated carrot, and thinly sliced green onions. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly and the ingredients are well combined.
Step 5
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste, then remove it from heat.
Step 6
To assemble, spoon the hoisin chicken mixture into the center of each butter lettuce leaf. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy!
