Whip up these quick & flavorful Keto Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Hoisin Sauce for a healthy, low-carb meal that's ready in minutes! These lettuce wraps are perfect for a light lunch or dinner.

Keto Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Hoisin Sauce

lb Ground Chicken

Hoisin Sauce

tbsp Soy Sauce (or Coconut Aminos)

cloves, minced Garlic

tsp, minced Ginger

Head of Butter Lettuce

tbsp Sesame Seeds (for garnish)

2, chopped Green Onions (for garnish)

cup, diced Water Chestnuts (optional)

Large Skillet or Wok

Cutting Board

Sharp Knife

Mixing Bowl

Spatula

Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper. Make sure there aren't any large clumps of meat.

Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully cooked and lightly browned. This should take about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic; burnt garlic is a culinary crime!

Incorporate the Hoisin Sauce: Pour in the hoisin sauce and soy sauce (or coconut aminos). Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. It should look glossy and tempting.

Add Veggies (Optional): If using, add the diced water chestnuts and chopped green onions to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another minute.

Prepare the Lettuce Cups: While the chicken is cooking, carefully separate the lettuce leaves from the head. Wash and thoroughly dry the lettuce leaves. This is key to avoiding soggy wraps!

Assemble the Wraps: Spoon the chicken mixture into the lettuce cups. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve immediately and watch them disappear!

Serving Suggestion: For an extra flavor kick, consider adding a drizzle of sriracha or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for those who like a bit of heat. A side of cucumber salad can also provide a refreshing contrast.
