Instructions

In a small bowl, add all sauce ingredients and whisk together.
In a large skillet, add 1 Tbsp sesame oil and bring to medium-high heat. Add the chicken. Season with salt and pepper and continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink, stirring and breaking into smaller pieces as it cooks.
Stir in the water chestnuts and mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
Reduce heat to a simmer. Add the scallions and pour in the sauce; stir until ingredients are evenly coated in sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid to cook for a few minutes and allow ingredients to absorb the sauce. Remove the lid, taste and make any adjustments as needed. If you wish to have more sauce, you can add more hoisin sauce or double the original sauce recipe.
When ready to serve, lay out lettuce leaves and spoon in the filling. Serve while the filling is still warm.

Notes

Putting the filling in lettuce wraps is the classic way to eat this dish, but it's not the only way! You may want to give some of these ideas a try:
Add chicken mixture on top of a bed of greens and eat like a salad.
Pair with rice for a delicious Asian meal! You can use cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
This mixture would be TOO good stuffed inside an egg roll!
