Ground Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground chicken
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into large dice
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 5 dashes hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
  • 1 teaspoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons hot water
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 5 dashes hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
  • 6 large leaves of iceberg lettuce
  • 2 carrots, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
1
Cook the ground chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it breaks apart and loses its pink color, approximately 10 minutes. Remove any excess fat from the pan.
2
Add the diced red bell pepper to the chicken and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the pepper is slightly tender, around 5 more minutes.
3
In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, grated ginger, 5 dashes of hot pepper sauce, and sesame oil. Pour this marinade over the chicken mixture in the skillet.
4
Continue to cook the chicken and sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded together, taking around 5 to 10 minutes.
5
In a small bowl, mix peanut butter with hot water until it reaches a smooth consistency. Add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and an additional 5 dashes of hot pepper sauce to the peanut butter mixture. Set this dipping sauce aside for later use.
6
Prepare lettuce leaves by shaping them into cups, then fill each cup with the chicken mixture. Top the chicken mixture with shredded carrots, sprinkle with chopped green onion and cilantro, and serve with a spoonful of the peanut dipping sauce.
