Yep another lettuce wrap recipe on the blog. We are serious about getting healthy in our house especially before our cruise. I love ordering lettuce wraps when we go to a chinese resturaunt. And these lettuce wraps were so delicious that they reminded me of a nice restaurant. I especially loved these because they had edamame, carrots, and water chestnuts in them. Delicious and flavorful and only 258 calories for each one. I will be making these weekly before the cruise!

Review: The only thing that I wished was different about these is that the teriyaki and soy sauce flavor would have pulled through more while cooking in the slow cooker. Once I added the hoisen sauce at the end, I had to add about 4 Tbs of it because it just soaked into the meat. I think next time I will make it, I will add some soy sauce and teriyaki sauce to the hoisen sauce at the end making the chicken a little bit more saucy. The peanut sauce at the end poured on top made them absolutely delicious.
Ingredients:
2 pounds uncooked ground chicken breast (You can use whole chicken, just shred at the end)
3 green onions
8 ounce can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 cup shredded carrots (2 Medium)
1 cup frozen sweet soybeans
4 teaspoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese style hot mustard
2 teaspoons reduced sodium teriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 14 1/2 ounce can reduced sodium chicken broth
2 Tablespoons hoisen sauce
12 leaves butterhead or iceburg lettuce
Optional for topping
Asian Chili Sauce
Sesame seeds
