Asian-inspired Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Asian-inspired Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is a combination of tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and flavorful Asian-inspired seasonings, all wrapped up in a crisp lettuce leaf.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced water chestnuts
- 1/4 cup diced scallions
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 head of lettuce, leaves separated
To start, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced red bell pepper, water chestnuts, and scallions to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
To serve, spoon the chicken and vegetable mixture into the lettuce leaves, using the leaves as a wrap. Garnish with additional scallions, if desired.
These Asian-inspired Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a perfect appetizer or light meal. They are packed with flavor and texture, with the tender chicken, crunchy water chestnuts, and crisp lettuce leaves. The sauce adds a tangy and savory note to the dish, tying all the flavors together.
