Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves finely minced
- ¼ cup water chestnuts drained and diced
- ½ cup hoisin sauce
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 head Boston bibb lettuce rinsed and patted dry
- green onions optional
- peanut sauce optional
- crushed peanuts optional
- sriracha sauce to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground chicken and brown it completely. Crumble it as you cook.
- Stir in the fresh garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for 20 seconds.
- Add the hoisin sauce, water chestnuts, and sesame oil. Cook for a few minutes or until the sauce thickens. Check for seasoning.
- Remove from heat and fill each lettuce cup with meat. Top with green onions, peanuts, and peanut sauce if desired. Also great with Sriracha for a little spice.
Notes
- Dice Small. Make sure to dice your ingredients into bite-sized pieces so that the mixture is easy to layer on the lettuce wraps and eat.
- Don’t Overfill Your Wraps. You want to leave enough lettuce to fold over and create an easy-to-hold wrap. If you add too much filling, your chicken lettuce wraps will likely break and spill all over the place.
