These Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps are restaurant quality you can make at home!

Ingredients

Marinade Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon corn starch
  • 2 teaspoons red or sherry wine
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce

Filling Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ lbs uncooked extra-lean ground chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced (about 3 cloves minced by hand)
  • ½ cup scallions, minced
  • 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, minced
  • 1 (8 oz) can of bamboo shoots, drained and minced
  • 1 (8 oz) can of water chestnuts, drained and minced

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon red or sherry wine
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoon corn starch

Also Needed:

  • Iceberg Lettuce leaves, washed and patted dry

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine marinade ingredients and stir until mixed. Add ground chicken to the marinade and stir until chicken is thoroughly coated. Let sit for 15 minutes.
  • While chicken is marinating, mix all the ingredients for the sauce until thoroughly combined and set aside.
  • When chicken is marinated, heat a tablespoon of the canola oil over medium-high heat in a wok or sauté pan. Add the chicken and cook, breaking up the chicken with a spoon, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • Put the pan back on the burner and heat another tablespoon of oil. Add the ginger, garlic and scallions (this step will smell amazing!) and cook for a minute or two until fragrant. Add the mushrooms, bamboo shoots and water chestnuts. Cook for another 2-4 minutes and then add the chicken back to the pan. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the top and stir until chicken and vegetables are coated. Cook a few more minutes until heated through and sauce is thickened.
  • Serve with lettuce leaves for wrapping.
