Weeknights mean little time for the kitchen. With 2 kids and activities and home work, I have my hands full and sometimes we make it home almost at dinner time. This is a quick recipe when you are looking for something fun, yet delicious. Make it as spicy as you like.
- 1 lb ground chicken (or any ground meat)
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 green onions, diced
- 10-12 cilantro springs, chopped
- 1 head of butter leaf lettuce, washed, separated and dried (or use wraps if you like)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add onion and chicken.
- Cook, stirring often until the chicken is cooked, approx 6 minutes.
- Add the hoisin sauce and bell pepper and cook until chicken is cooked all the way through.
- Squeeze in the juice of the lime and toss well.
- Next add the red pepper flakes if you are using them.
- Remove from heat.
- Serve chicken in lettuce leaves, garnish with the cilantro and enjoy!
