Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 medium Onion Chopped
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, chopped
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
  • 8 oz Whole Canned Water Chestnuts, drained and diced
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Powder

For the Sauce

  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 3 Tablespoon Hoisin Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Ginger
  • 1 Tablespoon Peanut Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha, optional, but recommended

To Serve

  • Lettuce Leaves
  • Chopped Spring Onions
  • Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add onion and sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
  • Add the ground chicken and cook, stirring occasionally to break up the meat, until browned. About 6-7 minutes.
  • Add the bell peppers and water chestnuts and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the peppers soften a little.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients: soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, peanut butter, and sriracha.
  • Pour the sauce into the chicken mixture and let it simmer on low heat until the chicken and veggies are well coated with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of the lettuce leaf and top it with some chopped spring onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

  • You can store the chicken filling in an airtight container for 3 days in the refrigerator or about 3 months in the freezer.
  • Use finely chopped chicken breast in place of ground chicken.
  • Substitute peanut butter with any other nut butter.
  • You can use butter lettuce, romaine lettuce, or green leaf lettuce to make these wraps. Just choose a variety with large leaves.
