Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup finely diced water chestnuts
  • 1/2 cup finely diced mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions, divided
  • 1 head butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated and washed
  • Optional: chopped peanuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully browned and no pink remains, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the water chestnuts, mushrooms, ginger, and garlic to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the sauce.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  6. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in half of the chopped green onions.
  8. Arrange the washed lettuce cups on a serving platter. Spoon the chicken filling into each lettuce cup.
  9. Garnish with the remaining green onions and optional chopped peanuts. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use butter lettuce or crisp iceberg lettuce leaves as your cups. Rinse and dry the leaves well before serving.
  • You can substitute diced chicken breast or thigh for ground chicken, but you will need to cook it longer until it is fully done.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store the filling and the lettuce separately and assemble just before eating.
