Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1½ tablespoons Chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ medium onion chopped
- ½ red bell pepper chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger or ½ teaspoon ground
- 8 ounces water chestnuts 1 can, chopped
- 1 pound ground chicken
- cooked rice
- butter lettuce leaves
Toppings:
- chopped cashews
- Sriracha
- chopped green onion
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add in the onion and bell pepper, cooking for a few minutes until softened. Add in the garlic, ginger and water chestnuts and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the ground chicken, breaking it up as it cooks. Once cooked through, add in the sauce and stir to combine. Simmer the mixture on low for a few minutes, letting the excess liquid reduce.
- Spoon equal amounts of the chicken mixture and rice into the lettuce leaves. Top each lettuce wrap with cashews, sriracha, and chopped green onion.
