  • Total Time: 25-30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

2 pounds chicken breast

1 head of bibb or Boston lettuce

Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

For the Sauce:

1/2 cup hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 teaspoon ginger, minced

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

2 teaspoons sriracha

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sriracha. Stir to combine and set aside.

  • Cook the Chicken: Dice the chicken breast into small pieces. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  • Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté diced mini bell peppers, garlic, and ginger for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  • Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken to the skillet, pour in the sauce mixture, and stir well to coat the chicken. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

  • Assemble Wraps: Carefully separate lettuce leaves. Spoon the hoisin chicken mixture into the lettuce leaves and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Spicy Kick: Increase sriracha or add fresh chilies for extra heat.

Vegetarian Option: Use tofu or tempeh as a substitute for chicken.

Make it Sweet: Add a teaspoon of honey for extra sweetness in the sauce.
