These Asian chicken lettuce wraps are a flavorful and fresh weeknight meal, ready in under 30 minutes. They offer a healthy alternative to takeout, with tender ground chicken in a savory sauce nestled in crisp lettuce cups.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup water chestnuts, diced
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 8–10 large lettuce leaves (butter or iceberg)

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the ground chicken to the pan. Crumble it and cook until it is browned, about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Mix well to coat the chicken.
  4. Add the diced water chestnuts and chopped green onions to the pan. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Spoon the chicken mixture into the prepared lettuce leaves. Serve the Asian chicken lettuce wraps immediately.

Notes

  • Use lean ground chicken for a healthier option.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce and rice vinegar to your taste preference.
  • Ground turkey can be substituted for ground chicken.
  • Serve with extra hoisin sauce on the side for added flavor.
  • For crispier lettuce, chill the leaves in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Drain excess grease from the chicken after cooking to prevent soggy wraps.
  • Add sriracha or crushed red pepper for a spicier Asian chicken lettuce wrap.
