Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 1 can water chestnuts, diced
- 1 head Boston or Bibb lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break up any large chunks with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha sauce.
Pour the sauce mixture over the browned chicken, stirring well to coat the chicken evenly.
Add the chopped green onions and diced water chestnuts to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the chicken mixture cool slightly.
Separate the lettuce leaves, wash, and pat dry with a paper towel.
To assemble the wraps, place a spoonful of the chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf.
Sprinkle the chicken with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro before serving.
