Description
A delightful appetizer or light meal featuring ground chicken and fresh vegetables wrapped in crisp lettuce leaves.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup peanuts, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 cucumber, shredded
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 head of lettuce (like iceberg or butter lettuce)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground chicken. Cook it thoroughly, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through—approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Fold in the chopped peanuts, diced red pepper, grated carrot, and shredded cucumber. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the veggies soften slightly.
- Grab a mixing bowl. Whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir until every morsel is generously coated in the delicious sauce.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool slightly, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Take a crisp lettuce leaf and spoon generous portions of the savory filling inside. Garnish with chopped green onions for an extra touch of flavor.
- Enjoy the delightful moment when your friends or family take their first bite.
Notes
The filling can be prepared a day in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for maximum freshness.
