  • Author: Leo
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground chicken
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
– ¼ cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
– 1 tablespoon Sriracha (optional for spice)
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 carrot, shredded
– 1 red bell pepper, diced
– 1 bunch green onions, sliced
– 1 head of iceberg or butter lettuce, leaves separated
– Fresh cilantro or mint for garnish


Instructions

Creating these Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps is a breeze. Follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks.

2. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and ginger; sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Mix Sauces: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Sriracha, and rice vinegar. Pour this mixture over the chicken, stirring to coat everything evenly.

4. Add Vegetables: Stir in shredded carrot, diced bell pepper, and half of the green onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

5. Prepare Lettuce Leaves: While the chicken is cooking, separate lettuce leaves. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry.

6. Assemble Wraps: Spoon a generous portion of the chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf. Top with remaining green onions and fresh herbs.

7. Serve Immediately: Arrange the filled lettuce wraps on a platter for serving.
