Chicken Lettuce Wraps Meal Prep

When you store these, you should store the lettuce and filling separately. That way you can remove your lettuce leaves and reheat just the filling. I photographed the lettuce wraps already assembled because otherwise they don’t really look quite as nice when it’s just a pile of filling and a separate pile of leaves.

It also gave me an excuse to eat quite a few when I was done with my photos. This is a lunch I definitely look forward to!




INGREDIENTS:




  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 1/4 lb ground chicken
  • 1 (8 oz) can water chestnuts, drained and diced
  • 3 oz shiitake mushrooms, diced (you can leave this out if you don't like the flavor of shiitake mushrooms but the PF Chang's version does use them)
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 head of butter lettuce, leaves removed and washed



SAUCE


  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp regular soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp (lightly packed) fresh grated ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 shallot, diced (you can also substitute with 1/4 of a small onion)

DIRECTIONS:




  1. In a small bowl, add all sauce ingredients and whisk together.
  2. In a large skillet, add 1 tbsp sesame oil and bring to medium high heat. Add in ground chicken and cook and stir until crumbled and browned. Add in water chestnuts and mushrooms.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Pour in sauce and stir into ingredients until ingredients are evenly coated in sauce. Cover skillet with lid to cook a few minutes and allow ingredients to absorb sauce. Remove lid, taste and make any adjustments as needed. If you prefer a little sweeter, you can add a little bit of brown sugar. If you prefer saltier, you can add a little more soy sauce. When finished, remove from heat.
  4. Stack a few lettuce leaves on one side of your meal prep container. Place some scallions on the top lettuce leaf. Add chicken filling to the other side of your container. Seal containers and store in fridge. When ready to eat, remove stack of lettuce leaves and scallions. Heat the filling. Then assemble your lettuce wraps.
