Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, gluten-free
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 can (8 ounces) water chestnuts, drained and chopped
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 head butter lettuce
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing your ingredients: mince the garlic and ginger, chop the green onions, drain and chop the water chestnuts, and grate the carrot.
In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula or spoon. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the chopped green onions, gluten-free soy sauce, gluten-free hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Mix well to combine, letting the ingredients meld together for 2 minutes.
Add the chopped water chestnuts and grated carrot to the mixture. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still have some crunch.
Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
Remove from heat and prepare the lettuce. Separate the leaves of the butter lettuce and rinse them under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
To assemble the wraps, spoon the chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf, sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves, and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy these refreshing Gluten-Free Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps.
