Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

 


  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 Tbls peanut oil
  • ½ onion minced
  • 1 cup red or green pepper diced
  • 1 8 oz can water chestnuts drained and minced

For the Sauce:

  • 3 Tbls soy sauce
  • 3 Tbls hoisin sauce
  • 1 Tbls sesame oil
  • 1 Tbls rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbls peanut butter
  • 1 Tbls honey 
  • 2 tsp sweet chili sauce 
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp powdered ginger

To serve

  • ¼ cup peanuts, crushed



Instructions 

  • Whisk together sauce ingredients until well combined. If you use a firmer peanut butter you may need to microwave the mixture for 30-60 seconds in order to melt it and ensure everything is well-mixed.
  • Heat 2 TBS peanut oil in a frying pan. Once hot, add ground chicken.
  • Cook until some pieces are starting to brown. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes or until the onion is becoming translucent.
  • Add the peppers and water chestnuts and cook about 5 minutes or until peppers are becoming soft.
  • Add sauce and simmer on low heat until the chicken and veggies are evenly coated and everything is heated through.
  • Serve in lettuce leaves, on top of your favorite Asian salad, or over noodles or rice!
