Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 1-3 tsp Sriracha (based on spice preference)
- 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
- 1 (8-oz) can water chestnuts, drained and diced
- 2-3 green onions, sliced thinly
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 head of lettuce (see note below)
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, sauté ground chicken until browned, around 4 minutes. Break up any large chunks of chicken to ensure thorough cooking.
- Drain excess fat if you have any. I skipped this because I used ground chicken breasts which are naturally leaner than dark meat chicken.
- Add in diced yellow onions and cook until onions are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Careful not to let it burn.
- Add hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, Sriracha, ginger and water chestnuts. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Take off heat and stir in green onions.
- Serve by scooping into the middle of clean and dry lettuce leaves.
Notes
- Butterhead (a.k.a. Bibbs) lettuce is ideal for wraps because it is easier to roll, but any lettuce will do. I couldn't find Bibbs, so I used regular green leaf lettuce and it worked out well.
