Delicious Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I love chicken lettuce wraps and I came across a delicious and easy recipe in Cooking Light.  I made some tweaks to the recipe, so my version is below. I like to serve this with brown or jasmine rice. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup water

3/4 – 1 cup of vertically sliced red onion

1 pound ground chicken breast

3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint

3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

½ teaspoon crushed red pepper

Chopped water chestnuts (small can)

Hoisin sauce (I get the 7 oz jar and use about ½ of it)

Live Butter Lettuce (such as Live Gourmet)

1. Rinse whole lettuce leaves and pat dry, being careful not to tear them. Set aside.

2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add first 3 ingredients to pan. Cook 5 minutes or until chicken is done, stirring to crumble. Drain. Return chicken mixture to pan; stir in mint, cilantro, lime juice, red pepper, water chestnuts and hoisin sauce.

3. Spoon chicken mixture onto each lettuce leaf. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
