For all the times I have ordered chicken lettuce wraps at Chinese eating places like P.F. Chang’s, inhaled completely “appetizers” on my own, and sighed with happiness at the same time as licking sticky sauce from my palms, it in no way once befell to me to try making this dish at home. Partly, lettuce wraps have continually felt like an indulgence that wanted a limit on restaurant visits simplest. Partly, I assumed that the name of the game to their deliciousness without a doubt lay in a long list of elements, fussy techniques, or each.


INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground chicken
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon Sriracha, optional
1 (8-ounce) can whole water chestnuts, drained and diced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 head butter lettuce

DIRECTIONS:
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the chicken as it cooks; drain excess fat.
Stir in garlic, onion, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, and Sriracha until onions have become translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in chestnuts and green onions until tender, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style.
