Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch ginger, grated

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 medium carrot, grated

1 cup water chestnuts, diced

¼ cup sweet chili sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 head of iceberg or butter lettuce (for wraps)

¼ cup chopped green onions (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Start by chopping all your vegetables: bell pepper, carrot, and water chestnuts. Set aside.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

      Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Incorporate Veggies: Add the diced bell pepper, grated carrot, and diced water chestnuts to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

          Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Pour this sauce over the chicken mixture and stir until evenly coated. Let it simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

            Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Adjust the sweetness or spiciness by adding more sweet chili sauce if desired.

              Prepare the Lettuce Wraps: Carefully separate the leaves from the lettuce head. Rinse and pat dry.

                Assemble: Spoon the chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf, being generous but careful not to overfill. Top with chopped green onions and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.

                  Serve: Arrange the lettuce wraps on a platter and serve immediately, allowing everyone to make their own wraps.
