Description
These are the absolute best Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps - light and healthy, but loaded with flavor. Ground chicken, sautéed with onions, garlic, and ginger, flavored with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and hoisin, served in lettuce cups, and topped with peanuts, green onions, and fresh cilantro. They are perfect for meal prep or an easy weeknight meal. Best of all, they only dirty one pan and can be ready and on the table in less than 30 minutes.
