Ingredients

– 1 lb ground chicken
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

– 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
– 1 cup carrots, finely shredded
– 3 green onions, sliced

Instructions

Creating Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps can be incredibly simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
3. Add Garlic and Ginger: Once the chicken is cooked through, stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Incorporate Vegetables: Add the bell pepper, shredded carrots, and sliced green onions. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
5. Mix in Sauces: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, mixing well to coat.
6. Finish with Cilantro: Remove the skillet from heat, and fold in the chopped cilantro for a fresh finish.
7. Prepare Lettuce Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling into the center.
8. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle with chopped peanuts for added crunch.
9. Roll and Serve: Roll up the lettuce wrap, securing the filling inside, and serve immediately.
