  • 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1/2 cup water chestnuts (drained and sliced)

Instructions
 

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

  • Whisk all the sauce ingredients together (rice wine vinegar, hoisin sauce, coconut aminos, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  • Start the filling. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil.
  • Add onions and cook until soft (this should take about 5 minutes.)
  • Stir in garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
  • Add ground chicken and cook until opaque (so the color';s white/light brown without any pink) and mostly cooked through, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon.
  • Pour in the sauce and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until sauce reduces slightly and the chicken is cooked through completely.
  • Turn off heat and stir in chestnuts and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon cauliflower rice, if using, and a large scoop (about 1/4 cup) of chicken mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf.
  • Enjoy!
