Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the filling

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add aromatics

    Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger to the cooked chicken. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Incorporate sauces and vegetables

    Add the chopped water chestnuts, green onions, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the mixture is heated through.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare lettuce leaves

    Carefully separate the lettuce leaves from the head, keeping them whole for wrapping.

  2. 5

    Fill the wraps

    Spoon a portion of the chicken filling into the center of each lettuce leaf.

  3. 6

    Garnish and serve

    Top the filling with chopped cilantro and chopped peanuts. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the wraps, and enjoy!
