Ingredients

  • 1 head butter lettuce, separated into leaves, rinsed, and dried

CHICKEN MIXTURE

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 6 ounces button mushrooms, stems removed and finely diced
  • 1 small white onion, finely diced
  • 8 ounce can of water chestnuts, drained and finely diced
  • ½ teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

SAUCE

  • ½ cup hoisin sauce
  • 4 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 4 teaspoons sesame oil

TOPPINGS

  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 2 shoots green onions, diced

Instructions

  • Separate, rinse, and dry the leaves of the butter lettuce. Or, wash the lettuce in a salad spinner and set aside.

CHICKEN MIXTURE

  • Heat up oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add chicken, season it with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink.
  • Add the mushrooms and onions, and cook until soft (about 5-6 minutes).
  • Add the water chestnuts, ginger, and garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

SAUCE

  • In a medium bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk to combine evenly. Reserve 1/2 cup of the sauce and set aside to use as a condiment for your wrap. Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken mixture and cover, cooking on low for another 5 minutes.
  • Fill each lettuce leaf with 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture. Top with the reserved sauce, sesame seeds, and green onion.
