Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely diced
  • 1 small onion diced (sweet or red)
  • 1 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1-2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce, or Sriracha (optional, for heat)
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 head iceberg, butter, or boston lettuce, rinsed and dried
Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet on medium to medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken, mushrooms, and diced onion to the pan. Saute until the chicken until is fully cooked through, and mushrooms and onions are tender.
  2. Add the garlic last minute, once the chicken and veggies are cooked, so the garlic does not burn.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, ground ginger, and chili garlic sauce (or sriracha), then pour the sauce mixture into the pan with the chicken and veggies. Add black pepper to taste.
  4. Let the mixture simmer for several minutes, stirring to make sure the sauce and chicken are combined. Add the sliced green onion for garnish.
  5. Remove from heat, and spoon the mixture into the chilled lettuce leaves, roll them up like a taco, and enjoy!
