Asian Chicken Lettuce Cups

This meal was super quick and easy to make. Plus it made me feel healthy while eating it so it's basically a win-win haha. I could see turning these into little bite size appetizers for a party. Just make the chicken ahead and then day off reheat and plate on lettuce cups.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup hoisin sauce

2 Tbsp.  soy sauce

1 Tbsp. vegetable oil

1 pound ground chicken or turkey

1 large carrot, peeled and shredded

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 tbs grated ginger

3 scallions, whites and greens separated and chopped

1 large head butter lettuce, leaves separated

1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the hoisin sauce and soy sauce with 1/3 cup water.

2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tbsp. oil over high. Add the chicken and cook, breaking apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4 minutes.

3. Reduce the heat to medium, add the carrot and cook, stirring, 2 minutes.

4. Add the garlic, ginger and scallion whites and cook 1 minute.

5. Stir in the hoisin mixture and cook until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables, 1 to 2 minutes.

6. Divide the lettuce leaves among 4 plates. Top each leaf with the chicken mixture; sprinkle with the scallion greens.
