Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 can (8 oz) water chestnuts, diced
  • 1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated

Instructions

  1. Cook Chicken:
    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground chicken and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté Onions and Garlic:
    • In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Combine Ingredients:
    • Stir in hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar. Add diced water chestnuts and the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and heated through.
  4. Serve:
    • Spoon the chicken mixture into butter lettuce leaves. Serve immediately as wraps for a healthy appetizer or light meal.

Tips for Success

  • Butter Lettuce: Use fresh, intact butter lettuce leaves for easy wrapping and a tender texture.
  • Texture Boost: For an extra crunch, add finely chopped peanuts or shredded carrots to the chicken mixture.
  • Meal Prep: Prepare the chicken filling ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving.

Wine, Cocktail, Drink Pairing

  • Pair these wraps with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a refreshing cucumber lime mocktail to complement the vibrant and savory flavors.
