Equipment
- 1 Cooking spoon
- 1 Cutting board and knife
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 lb Ground chicken
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1/2 Onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey (use hot honey for extra heat)
- 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
- 1 tbsp Hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup Water
- 1 head Romaine or bibb lettuce, leaves separated
Optional Toppings:
- Shredded carrots, chopped green onions, sesame seeds, red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken, salt, and black pepper. Cook, breaking the chicken into crumbles with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Push the chicken to one side of the skillet and add sesame oil to the other side. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the sesame oil, cooking until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the soy sauce, honey, minced ginger, hoisin sauce, and water. Mix everything together with the chicken and onion, and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until the flavors combine and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat. Scoop the chicken mixture into lettuce leaves.
- Garnish with optional toppings like shredded carrots, chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes, if desired.
Notes
Spicy honey can be swapped for regular honey if you prefer a bolder flavor.
