Main Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken (or turkey) Use turkey for a lighter option.
1 tablespoon olive oil Use any cooking oil you have on hand.
1 cup diced mushrooms Mushrooms add great texture.
1 piece bell pepper, chopped Choose your favorite color of bell pepper.
1/2 cup diced water chestnuts Water chestnuts provide a nice crunch.
3 pieces green onions, sliced For topping and added flavor.
3 tablespoons soy sauce Use tamari for gluten-free.
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce Adds a sweet and savory depth.
1 tablespoon rice vinegar Provides a tangy flavor.
1 teaspoon sesame oil Enhances the Asian flavor profile.
1 head butter or iceberg lettuce Use for wrapping the filling.

Method

Cooking

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, and toss in your ground chicken. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in the diced mushrooms, bell pepper, and water chestnuts. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the veggies soften.
Add soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Spoon the chicken mixture into the lettuce leaves and top with sliced green onions.
Enjoy your wraps and dive into this delicious meal!

Notes

Feel free to customize by adding more vegetables like shredded carrots or bean sprouts. If you don't have lettuce, serve over rice or quinoa. You can prep the filling ahead of time and just heat it when dinner time comes.
