Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 3 medium green onions
• 1 can water chestnuts
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 16 pieces iceberg or butter lettuce leaves
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the garlic, ginger, and green onions. Drain and chop the water chestnuts. Dice the red bell pepper and carrot into small pieces.

Step 2

Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha sauce.

Step 5

Add the chopped water chestnuts, red bell pepper, carrot, green onions, and the prepared sauce to the cooked chicken. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 6

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then remove from heat.

Step 7

Carefully separate the lettuce leaves, wash, and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 8

To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf. Roll or fold the leaves around the filling and enjoy.
