2 lbs ground chicken cooked and crumbled
3 Tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 Tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
2 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 small onion diced
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
8 ounces water chesnuts canned, sliced, drained, and diced
2 teaspoons sesame seeds for garnish
3 Tablespoons scallions diced, for garnish

Instructions

Add the cooked 2 lbs ground chicken, 3 Tablespoons hoisin sauce, 2 Tablespoons soy sauce, 2 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 small onion diced, 2 cloves garlic minced, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 Tablespoon brown sugar, and 8 ounces water chesnuts in a slow cooker. Mix to combine.
Set the slow cooker to low and cook the mixture for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure flavors meld together.
Wash and dry large leafy lettuce leaves. Ensure they are whole and intact for wrapping.
Once the chicken mixture is ready, spoon it into the center of each lettuce leaf. Top with 2 teaspoons sesame seeds and 3 Tablespoons scallions diced for garnish.

Notes

Use fresh, crisp lettuce leaves to ensure they hold the filling without tearing.

Substitute ground chicken with crumbled tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version.

Store any leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
