Teriyaki Chicken Lettuce Wraps Flavorful and Simple Meal

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 0.25 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 0.5 cup water chestnuts, chopped
• 1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
• 3 medium green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 1 head butter lettuce (or iceberg for crunch)

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until combined.
2. In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the ground chicken and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes, making sure to break it up with a spatula while cooking.
3. Once the chicken is cooked through, drain any excess fat.
4. Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the cooked chicken in the skillet, mixing well to coat the chicken evenly.
5. Stir in the chopped water chestnuts, red bell pepper, and the white parts of the green onions. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before assembling.
7. To serve, take a lettuce leaf, place a spoonful of the teriyaki chicken mixture in the center, and fold the sides over to create a wrap.
8. Garnish with the green parts of the green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
