Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps {LeMoine Family Kitchen}

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps! Sure, they are a little, ok a lot messy to eat but so worth it! Lean ground chicken in a simple homemade asian sauce, a crunchy piece of romaine lettuce, topped with carrot matchsticks, shredded red cabbage and cilantro! This one is so incredibly easy to throw together on a weeknight and all those colors means were on the healthy side of things.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs lean ground chicken
  • 6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 6 oz shitake mushrooms, chopped
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup duck sauce
  • 3 Tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • scallions, sliced
  • romaine or iceberg lettuce {iceberg is a better vessel but romaine has more nutrition}
  • matchstick carrots {or shredded if you can't find
  • shredded red cabbage
  • fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. In a bowl stir together the soy sauce, water, duck sauce, hoisin and sesame oil.
  2. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the olive oil, garlic and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms have cooked down a bit and the garlic is fragrant.
  3. Add in the chicken and break up the meat as it is cooking with either a wooden spoon or my favorite a potato masher.
  4. When the chicken is mostly cooked through go ahead and stir in the sauce and cook a few more minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Shut the heat and stir in a couple handfuls of scallion.
  6. I served all the fixings on a platter... the lettuce leaves, carrots, shredded cabbage and cilantro.
  7. Add a bit of chicken to the lettuce and top with all those gorgeous colored veggies.
