Maggie’s Menu: Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Message from Maggie:
A few weekends ago Mr. Magpie and I joined friends for dinner at DC’s Sticky Rice. We ordered lettuce wraps as an appetizer and I asked myself, “Why don’t I make these at home?” After some research online, I found this great recipe and recreated a gluten free take on it for dinner last night.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1/4 cup gluten free hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha, optional
- 1 (8-ounce) can whole water chestnuts, drained and diced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 head butter lettuce
Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the chicken as it cooks; drain excess fat.
- Stir in garlic, onion, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger and Sriracha until onions have become translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in chestnuts and green onions until tender, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style.
