Table of Contents
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tbsp peanut oil
- 1/2 onion minced
- 1 cup red or green pepper
- 1 8oz can water chestnuts
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tbsp powdered ginger
- 1/4 cup peanuts crushed
- lettuce or your favourite Asian salad
Directions to Make Chicken Lettuce Wraps
- The sauce’s components should be well mixed by whisking.
- To melt tougher peanut butter and make sure everything is thoroughly combined, microwave the mixture for 30 to 60 seconds.
- In a frying pan, warm 2 tablespoons of peanut oil. Add ground chicken once it’s heated.
- Cook until a few of the pieces start to turn brown. After adding the onion, sauté it for 5 minutes or until it turns translucent.
- After adding them, simmer the peppers and water chestnuts for about 5 minutes or until tender.
- When the chicken and vegetables are well cooked, add the sauce and simmer on low heat until everything is uniformly covered.
- Serve over noodles or rice, in lettuce leaves, or on top of your favourite Asian salad.
Recipe Notes
- Chicken breasts that have been finely chopped are a fantastic alternative to ground chicken.
- If you don’t have peanut oil or a peanut allergy, you may substitute any other oil here. I advise using avocado or olive oil!
- Coconut Aminos can be used instead of soy sauce if you are allergic to soy; however, to make this recipe for Asian lettuce wraps gluten-free, be sure to use a gluten-free soy sauce.
- To keep this dish gluten-free, use a gluten-free hoisin sauce.
- Any nut or seed butter would work here if you are allergic to peanuts, but peanut butter produces the greatest results.
