Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps combine ground chicken cooked with onion, garlic, and ginger in a sauce of hoisin, tamari, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Water chestnuts add crunch to the savory mixture, which is served in fresh lettuce leaves topped with green onions and crushed peanuts. A creamy peanut sauce provides a sweet-spicy complement to each wrap.

  3. Add ground chicken and cook until opaque and mostly cooked through, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon.
