Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon ginger, grated

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 cup water chestnuts, finely chopped

1/2 cup carrots, shredded

1/4 cup green onions, sliced

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

8-10 large iceberg or butter lettuce leaves

Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

    Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

      Incorporate Sauces: Pour in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

        Mix in Vegetables: Gently fold in the chopped water chestnuts, shredded carrots, sliced green onions, and cilantro. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Prepare Lettuce Wraps: While the filling cools slightly, separate the lettuce leaves and rinse under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

            Assemble Wraps: Spoon the crispy chicken mixture onto the center of each lettuce leaf. For added crunch, sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.

              Serve and Enjoy: Roll or fold the leaves around the filling, making bite-sized wraps. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade crispy chicken lettuce wraps!
