Ingredients:
1 T olive oil
1 lb ground chicken
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 T soy sauce
1 T rice wine vinegar
1 T freshly grated ginger
1 T Sriracha, optional
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 head butter lettuce
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the chicken as it cooks; drain excess fat.
2. Stir in garlic, onion, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, and Sriracha until onions have become translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
3. Stir in chestnuts and green onions until tender, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
4. To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-styler.
yield: 4 servings prep time: 10 minutes . cook time: 10 minutes . total time: 20 minutes
Karen's Note: I couldn't find hoisin sauce at the two grocery stores I looked at, so I used Panda Express teriyaki sauce, and it turned out delicious. I used one tablespoon of Sriracha sauce, and it added a nice, spicy kick, but it wasn't too spicy.
