How to Make Asian Chicken And Lettuce Wraps
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken or turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and hot pepper sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and is absorbed by the chicken and vegetables, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately in lettuce cups. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
