Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound ground chicken
1/2 cup finely diced water chestnuts, drained
1/2 cup finely diced mushrooms (white or cremini)
2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup chopped green onions, divided
1 head butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated and washed
Optional garnish: toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
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 fat from the skillet.
Add the diced water chestnuts and mushrooms to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for 2 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and black pepper to create the sauce.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the filling.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in half of the chopped green onions.
Arrange the clean lettuce cups on a serving platter. Spoon the warm chicken mixture into each lettuce cup.
Garnish with the remaining green onions and toasted sesame seeds, if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
For the best texture, make sure to drain the water chestnuts well before adding them to the skillet.
You can substitute ground turkey for ground chicken if you prefer.
If you want a spicier kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of sriracha to the sauce mixture.
Butter lettuce cups hold the filling better than iceberg, but iceberg provides a crisper crunch.
