Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

3 tablespoons hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 cup water chestnuts, diced

1 cup bell peppers, finely chopped (red or yellow)

1/2 cup carrots, shredded

3 green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 head of butter lettuce (or iceberg lettuce), leaves separated

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

    Cook the Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and fully cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes.

      Incorporate Veggies and Sauces: Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the diced water chestnuts, chopped bell peppers, and shredded carrots. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

        Add Flavors: Pour in the hoisin sauce and soy sauce, stirring well to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

          Finish with Green Onions and Sesame Seeds: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

            Assemble the Wraps: To serve, spoon a portion of the ground chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf. Top with fresh cilantro if desired.

              Enjoy: Wrap the lettuce around the filling, hold with your hands, and enjoy the delightful crunch and rich flavors!
