Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 cup onion diced
  • 0.5 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp ginger freshly grated
  • 1 tbsp sriracha or to taste
  • 1 can water chestnuts 8 oz, drained and diced
  • 1 head butter lettuce leaves separated

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Make sure to crumble the chicken as it cooks.
  • Stir in garlic, onion, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, and sriracha. Cook and stir until onions have become translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir in water chestnuts and scallions until tender, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Spoon several tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style.

Notes

Customize with additional toppings like shredded carrots or chopped peanuts for added crunch.
