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
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

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!
