Ingredients

Chicken Filling

1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground chicken
4 ounces mushrooms chopped
1/2 cup matchstick carrots
1/2 cup water chestnuts chopped
2 teaspoons fresh ginger grated
3 cloves garlic minced

Sauce

3 Tablespoons hoisin sauce
3 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 Tablespoons chili garlic sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Garnishes

2 green onions thinly sliced
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

Heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, crumbling, for 2-3 minutes. (Chicken will not be fully cooked.)
To the same skillet, add the chopped mushrooms, water chestnuts, carrots, ginger, and garlic. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, and sesame oil to make the sauce. Mix well.
Pour the sauce over the chicken & vegetables. Cook, stirring, over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until sauce is incorporated.
Spoon filling into lettuce cups; garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Drizzle with additional sauce (or sauce of your choice) as desired.

Notes

Recipe Variations

Use ground turkey or beef instead of ground chicken
Add extra mushrooms for flavor
Add 1 small chopped onion and sauté with the mushrooms and ground chicken
Add chopped red pepper, green beans, or sweet potato
Substitute sweet chili sauce for the chili garlic sauce
Add extra flavor to the sauce (oyster sauce for savory, brown sugar for sweet, sriracha for spicy)
Serve with any of your favorite sauces (e.g. peanut sauce or creamy soy ginger sauce)
Top with thinly sliced hot peppers for an extra spicy kick
Garnish with chopped peanuts or cashews

Storing & Reheating

Leftover lettuce wrap filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. (I would recommend storing the lettuce separately to avoid sogginess.) To reheat, transfer to a small skillet and heat over medium heat until warmed through. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months and reheat it in a skillet from frozen.
