Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup diced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce

  • Optional: Chopped peanuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground chicken to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully browned. Drain off any excess grease.

  5. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  6. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in half of the chopped green onions.
  8. Arrange the washed lettuce leaves on a serving platter.
  9. Spoon the savory ground chicken filling into the center of each lettuce cup.
  10. Garnish with the remaining green onions and optional chopped peanuts. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a low carb chicken lettuce cups option, skip adding brown sugar or substitute with a zero-calorie sweetener.
  • You can use shredded cooked chicken instead of ground chicken if you prefer.
  • Serve with extra hoisin sauce or a drizzle of sriracha for added heat.
