Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
Sauce
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
To Serve
- 16 butter lettuce leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir until well mixed, then set aside for later use.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook for 6 to 7 minutes until it is fully browned and no longer pink.
- Add aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger into the skillet with the chicken. Cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant and aromatic.
- Add vegetables: Mix in the finely chopped water chestnuts and sliced green onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the skillet.
- Add sauce and simmer: Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken mixture in the skillet. Stir well and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the chicken and vegetables.
- Assemble wraps: Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the warm chicken mixture into each butter lettuce leaf, creating individual wraps.
- Serve immediately: Arrange the wraps on a serving platter and enjoy them fresh while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use ground turkey as a leaner alternative to chicken.
- For extra crunch, add chopped peanuts or cashews before serving.
- Substitute butter lettuce with romaine or iceberg lettuce if unavailable.
- Adjust hoisin sauce amount to taste for more or less sweetness.
- Serve with a side of steamed rice or noodles for a more filling meal.
