Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup finely chopped water chestnuts
- 1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms (white or cremini)
- 1/4 cup minced fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions, plus more for garnish
- 1 head butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated and washed
- Optional: Sweet chili sauce for serving
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the chopped water chestnuts, mushrooms, ginger, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and water to create the sauce.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the filling.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the 1/4 cup of chopped green onions.
- Arrange the lettuce cups on a serving platter. Spoon the savory chicken filling into the center of each lettuce leaf.
- Garnish with extra green onions and serve immediately with sweet chili sauce on the side, if desired.
Notes
- Use butter lettuce for a tender wrap, or iceberg lettuce for a crispier texture. Make sure the lettuce leaves are completely dry before filling.
- For a low carb chicken wraps option, skip the brown sugar or use a sugar substitute.
- This recipe is great for meal prep; store the filling and lettuce separately and assemble just before eating.
