Step 1

Heat oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until browned on all sides. 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Drain fat, then add onions and cook until translucent. 4-5 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper, then add garlic and ginger and cook for another 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha and red pepper flakes, if using, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, giving flavors a chance to blend.

Step 4

Mix in diced water chestnuts and green onions, then taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Step 5

Serve with butter lettuce, scooping chicken mixture into lettuce “bowls.” Enjoy!
