These chicken lettuce wraps are a fast, healthy, and customizable meal made with ground chicken and fresh vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1/2 cup water chestnuts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1 head of butter or romaine lettuce, leaves separated

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
  2. When the oil shimmers, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and the onion is soft, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through with no pink remaining, about 6–8 minutes.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and hoisin sauce. Add the chopped water chestnuts and sliced green onions. Cook and stir for another 2–3 minutes so the flavors meld and the mixture is heated through.
  5. To serve, spoon the warm chicken mixture into each leaf of lettuce. Wrap and eat immediately.

Notes

Soy sauce can be reduced-sodium or gluten-free with tamari. For sweetness, hoisin can be substituted with a mix of hoisin and honey. Serve with a creamy side for a heartier meal.
