Weeknight Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Trisha Anderson 5 months ago


Ingredients

  • 3 ½ tablespoons hoisin sauce

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon lower-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided

  • 1 pound ground chicken

  • 1 small red bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 (5-ounce) package sliced shiitake mushrooms, chopped

  • 1 (5 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained and chopped

  • 5 small scallions, thinly sliced (3/4 cup), divided

  • 12 butter lettuce leaves

  • ¼ cup matchstick carrots

Directions

  1. Stir hoisin, vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger and garlic together in a small bowl.


  2. Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; break into clumps using a wooden spoon. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom, about 8 minutes. Stir and continue to cook, breaking up the chicken into small pieces, until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. (Do not wipe the pan clean.)


  3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and mushrooms; cook, stirring often, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the chicken, water chestnuts and the reserved hoisin mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in 1/2 cup scallions.


  4. Place 1/4 cup chicken mixture in each lettuce leaf. Top with carrots and the remaining 1/4 cup scallions.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)

(-) Information is not currently available for this nutrient. If you are following a special diet for medical reasons, be sure to consult with your primary care provider or a registered dietitian to better understand your personal nutrition needs.
