I don’t know about you but I can do lettuce wraps every night of the week! Especially ones that are a thai style with peanuts!! PF changs used to be one of my favorite restaurants, so why not bring home the same style of lettuce wraps but home made!

This dish has tons of flavor and with the mixture of peanut butter leaves your mouth watering for more but your tummy satiated and fulfilled!

Wrap them in lettuce or even throw it on a salad!


INGREDIENTS

      Hoisin Sauce:

  •                  1/4 cup Soy sauce (I use low sodium)

  •                  1 tbsp Peanut butter

  •                  1 tbsp Honey (or low sugar maple syrup)

  •                  1 tbsp Rice vinegar

  •                  1 tsp Sesame seeds

  •                  1/8 tsp Pepper

  •                  1 tsp Ginger

  •                  1 tbsp Truvia

  •                  1 tsp Hot sauce (more or less to taste)

    Ground Chicken Mixture:

  •                  1 lb Extra lean ground chicken or turkey (or lean ground beef)

  •                  1 medium Onion, finely diced

  •                  1 tbsp Minced garlic, (or 1 tsp garlic powder)

  •                  1 (8 oz) can Sliced water chesnut’s

  •                  2-3 Green onions, sliced

  •                  1 large Head of lettuce (butter lettuce or iceberg)


DIRECTIONS

1) To Make the Sauce: Whisk together all of the ingredients for the hoisin sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.

2) Meanwhile, heat a large pan over medium high heat, and spray with cooking spray. Add ground chicken, onion, and garlic, and half of the prepared sauce, and cook until browned, which will take about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the chicken as it cooks. Stir in the chopped water chestnuts, green onions, and the rest of the prepared sauce (you can save a little on the side for dipping if desired, but I stirred mine completely in). and cook an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the green onions are tender. Turn off heat.

 3) To serve, spoon 1/4 cup ground chicken mixture into each lettuce wrap. Garnish with additional green onions if desired. Enjoy!
