Chicken Lettuce Wraps
My take on the classic appetizer, but with way less oil and sugar. Since it only takes 15 minutes to make, it's the perfect quick dinner on a busy day.

- 1 lb ground chicken breast
- 6 green onions, chopped
- 1 8 oz can water chestnuts, chopped
- 1 head butter lettuce
Hoisin Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp powdered peanut butter (I use PB2)
- 1 tbsp honey or agave
- 2 tsp rice wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp Chinese Five Spice blend (you can just add some powdered ginger if you don't want to buy this for one recipe)
Over medium-high heat, brown chicken in a large skillet coated with cooking spray, about 5 minutes While chicken is cooking, add sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.
When chicken is cooked, add in sauce, water chestnuts, and green onions. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until sauce has soaked into the chicken, about 5 more minutes.
Garnish with extra scallions. Serve in butter lettuce leaves as the "cups."

I like to eat mine as three lettuce wraps, with the 2/3 cup mixture divided evenly between each wrap.
