Preparation:
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion to the pan and cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Incorporate Sauces: Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha (if using), and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Finish the Mixture: Mix in the diced water chestnuts and sliced green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve: Spoon the flavorful chicken mixture into butter lettuce leaves. Garnish with additional sliced green onions. Enjoy!
