Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/2 cup water chestnuts, drained and chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated and washed

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the chopped water chestnuts and sliced green onions. Cook for 2 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and black pepper.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  8. Spoon the chicken mixture into the center of each clean lettuce cup. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra texture, you can add 1/4 cup of crispy fried rice noodles to the filling just before serving.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, add 1 teaspoon of sriracha sauce to the sauce mixture.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or finely chopped mushrooms for the chicken.
