Woohoo, week 2 of my healthy eating and cooking kick!  I have to say, I am super impressed with myself that I stuck with this diet and cooking for this long, but I am having so much fun with it that I’m actually enjoying myself!  This next recipe I am sharing with you guys is inspired by one of my favorite restaurants, PF Chang’s! I absolutely love their chicken lettuce wraps so when I found this recipe, I was SO excited to try it out.  Not only is it easy, but it is so delicious!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound of ground chicken
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
¼ cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 (8-oz) can whole water chestnuts, drained and diced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon of sriracha (optional)
1 head butter lettuce (this is crucial as they hold the meat the strongest!)

Serving size – 4

Step One: Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium to high heat.  Then, add the ground chicken and cook until it begins to brown.   This should take about 3-5 minutes, be sure to chop the chicken into very small, fine crumbly pieces as the chicken cooks.  

Step Two: Next, stir in the garlic, diced onion, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and ginger (and sriracha, if using), cook until the onions become translucent. This should take around 1-2 minutes.

Step Three: Stir in your diced water chestnuts and green onions and cook until tender, season with salt and pepper to taste, this should take another 1-2 minutes.  

Step Four: Lastly, gently rip off the butter lettuce leaves individually, then with a spoon, serve 1-2 spoonfuls of the chicken mixture into the center of the lettuce leaf, similar to a taco! I added a side of extra hoisin dipping sauce with my lettuce wraps and it was SO good!

Serve and enjoy!
