Ground Chicken Lettuce Wraps

THESE have been my favorite lettuce wraps, but there's a new favorite in town.

The sauce for these were over the top delicious! The hoisin makes the sauce. It's a bit sweeter and a bit more savory, but the balance is perfect. 

These will be on the favorite list for this year for sure.


Ground Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Serves 4
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 8 ounces water chestnuts diced
  • 1 small bell pepper diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 inch ginger chopped
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 head romaine 8 large leaves

LETTUCE WRAP SAUCE
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch, until combined.

Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet and place over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken, break it apart, and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until no longer pink.

Push the chicken to one side of the pan, add the chestnuts, bell pepper, garlic and onion and stir fry for several minutes.

Add the sauce and cook everything together for 1-2 minutes, until everything is evenly coated.

Place the filling in the lettuce cups and serve immediately.
