Instructions

Set a large skillet over medium heat on the stovetop. Add the sesame oil and ground chicken to the skillet and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Continue to stir and break up the chicken until it is cooked through about 5 minutes. Make sure that chicken is broken into very small pieces.
Add the green onions, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir and sauté the aromatics for another 3 minutes.
Now add the water chestnuts, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and Sriracha. Stir and simmer for 1-2 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Gently break the butter lettuce leaves off the stem. Stack them on a serving platter then scoop the chicken filling onto the platter or in a bowl.
To serve, scoop about 2 tablespoons of filling on each lettuce leaf, fold like a taco, and enjoy!

Notes

- Storing Leftovers - The ground chicken mixture is fabulous for meal prepping! Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container, separate from the lettuce leaves, and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

- Freezing - For longer storage, you can freeze the cooled filling mixture in an airtight ziploc bag for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the fridge overnight before using cold or reheating gently to serve.

- Reheating - I suggest reheating the chicken in the microwave in short 20-second bursts at 50% power, stirring between bursts. You can also reheat it on the stovetop, in a skillet or cooking pot. You might need to add a splash of water to loosen the ground meat mixture as it reheats.
