𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

1 lb ground chicken 🍗
1 tablespoon olive oil 🫒
1 small onion, diced 🧅
2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1/4 cup hoisin sauce 🥢
2 tablespoons soy sauce 🧂
1 tablespoon rice vinegar 🍶
1 tablespoon sesame oil 🌰
1 teaspoon ginger, grated 🌱
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 🌶️ (optional)
1 can (8 oz) water chestnuts, drained and diced 🌰
3 green onions, sliced 🌿
1 head of butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce 🥬

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

1. Cook the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil 🫒 over medium heat. Add the ground chicken 🍗 and cook for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, until the chicken is no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

2. Sauté the aromatics: In the same skillet, add the diced onion 🧅 and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic 🧄 and grated ginger 🌱, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant. The combination of garlic and ginger adds a delicious depth of flavor to the dish.

3. Make the sauce: Stir in the hoisin sauce 🥢, soy sauce 🧂, rice vinegar 🍶, sesame oil 🌰, and red pepper flakes 🌶️ (if using) into the skillet. Cook the sauce for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Combine with chicken: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, along with the diced water chestnuts 🌰. Stir everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well coated with the flavorful sauce and the water chestnuts add a bit of crunch.

5. Serve in lettuce wraps: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sliced green onions 🌿 for a fresh touch. Spoon the chicken mixture into the center of the lettuce leaves 🥬, wrapping the lettuce around the filling like a taco. Serve with extra sauce on the side if desired, and enjoy these flavor-packed chicken lettuce wraps! 🍽️
