Quick, low-carb chicken lettuce wraps filled with savory and slightly sweet flavors, perfect for busy nights or casual meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lettuce leaves (butter or iceberg) for wrapping
  • Optional toppings: chopped green onions, shredded carrots, water chestnuts

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Let it heat until shimmering.
  2. Soften aromatics: Add 1/2 cup diced onion and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook, stirring, until the onion is softened and fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Brown the chicken: Turn the heat to medium-high. Add 1 pound ground chicken, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until there’s no pink and the meat is browned, about 6–8 minutes.
  4. Add peppers and sauce: Stir in 1/2 cup diced bell pepper, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 3–4 minutes so the flavors combine and the pepper softens slightly.
  5. Finish and cool: Remove the skillet from heat and let the filling cool for a couple of minutes so it’s easier to handle.
  6. Assemble and serve: Spoon the chicken mixture into individual lettuce leaves. Top with optional chopped green onions, shredded carrots, or chopped water chestnuts for crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

You can use ground turkey instead of chicken. Adapt seasoning levels based on preference. Store leftovers for up to 3 days.
