Step-by-Step Instructions for Sesame Chicken Lettuce Wraps
- Heat 1 teaspoon of sesame oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
- Add 1 pound of ground chicken, breaking into small pieces. Cook until fully cooked and no longer pink, draining excess juice as needed.
- Mix in chopped water chestnuts, minced garlic, ginger, the remaining sesame oil, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), honey, rice wine vinegar, and Sriracha. Stir well and let meld.
- Dissolve 2 teaspoons of arrowroot starch in cold water, whisk until smooth. Gradually add to the pan, stirring continuously until the filling thickens.
- Wash and dry one head of butter lettuce, separating leaves while keeping them intact.
- Spoon the savory chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf and top with your favorite optional toppings.

Notes
Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Prepare toppings in advance for quick assembly. Store leftover filling in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
