Equipment

Ingredients

1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 pound ground chicken
2 cloves garlic minced
1 medium onion diced
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon sriracha optional
1 head butter lettuce leaves
1/4 cup green onions chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

Brown the chicken. Heat avocado or olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Once cooked through, drain the excess fat.
Add the seasonings. Stir in garlic, onion, mushrooms, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, and Sriracha. Cook for about 4 minutes or until the onions are translucent and tender.
Assemble the lettuce wraps. Add a generous scoop of the ground chicken mixture to a lettuce leaf. Wrap or serve as a lettuce cup. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast-iron pan so the chicken mixture doesn't stick.

Grate the ginger using a fine grater to get the best flavor.

Let the ground chicken and the sauce brown properly to develop its rich flavors. Don't rush the process, just be patient!

Adjust the level of heat by adding more or less sriracha, depending on your preference.
