Make these easy, low-carb chicken lettuce wraps at home. This recipe tastes like the restaurant version, using ground chicken in a savory Asian sauce, served in crisp lettuce cups.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup water chestnuts, drained and chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions, plus more for garnish
  • 1 head butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated and washed
  • Optional garnish: crispy fried rice noodles

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped shiitake mushrooms, minced ginger, and minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and sesame oil to create the sauce.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and mushroom mixture. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  6. Stir in the chopped water chestnuts and the 1/4 cup of chopped green onions. Cook for 1 more minute until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  8. Arrange the washed lettuce leaves on a serving platter.
  9. Spoon the chicken filling into the center of each lettuce cup.
  10. Garnish with extra green onions and crispy fried rice noodles, if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a Whole30 or strict low-carb option, skip the brown sugar and use a sugar-free sweetener equivalent, or omit it entirely if you prefer less sweetness.
  • Use ground turkey or finely minced chicken breast instead of thighs for a leaner filling.
  • This recipe makes excellent meal prep; store the filling and lettuce separately and assemble just before eating to keep the lettuce crisp.
