Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Chicken Lettuce Wraps.
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground chicken.
Step 2
Cook it while stirring frequently until it becomes crumbly and loses its pink color, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once cooked, drain any excess grease to keep your dish light and healthy.
Step 4
Next, toss in the diced red bell pepper and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pepper softens just a bit.
Step 5
While that’s happening, grab a separate bowl and whisk together soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, grated ginger, hot pepper sauce, and sesame oil.
Step 6
This flavorful mixture is the secret to bringing your dish to life! Pour it over the chicken and bell pepper in the skillet, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow all those delicious flavors to meld together beautifully.
Step 7
Meanwhile, prepare a creamy peanut dipping sauce by mashing peanut butter with hot water in a small bowl until it’s smooth.
Step 8
Stir in a splash of soy sauce and a dash of hot pepper sauce for an extra kick, then set it aside.
Step 9
Now it’s time to assemble your wraps! Take a fresh lettuce leaf and shape it into a little cup.
Step 10
Fill each leaf generously with the savory chicken mixture, then add a sprinkle of shredded carrots, chopped green onion, and fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 11
Serve your delightful wraps with a spoonful of the peanut dipping sauce on the side for dipping.
Step 12
Enjoy this vibrant and tasty meal that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
