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!
