For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of Shaoxing wine or dry sherry to the chicken while cooking. If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of Sriracha or omit the red pepper flakes. To add a crunchy element, top the lettuce wraps with toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts. These lettuce wraps can be prepared ahead of time. Simply store the chicken mixture and lettuce separately, and assemble just before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Flavor Base: Set aside 2 to 3 tablespoons of the sliced green onions for garnish. In a small bowl, combine the remaining green onions, diced water chestnuts, hoisin sauce, light soy sauce, Sriracha, rice vinegar, minced fresh ginger, and red pepper flakes. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld. (Prep time: ~5 minutes)
02
StepSauté the Aromatics and Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. Introduce the ground chicken, minced garlic, and sesame oil to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the chicken with a spoon, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink. (Cook time: ~10-15 minutes)
03
StepInfuse with Asian Flavors: Pour the hoisin mixture over the chicken mixture in the skillet. Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and the flavors have melded together. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. (Cook time: ~5 minutes)
04
StepAssemble and Serve: Gently fill each Bibb lettuce leaf with the savory chicken mixture. Garnish with the reserved sliced green onions. Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors! (Assembly time: ~5 minutes)
