Slow Cooker Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps
I don’t know how many years it’s been that I’ve said I’m going to try making Asian lettuce wraps at home and I’ve finally done it! I went the simplified route with a slow cooker version that couldn’t be any easier.
I always order them at Pei Wei’s and P.F. Chang’s, they’re just one of those things that you have to get. Even my kids like them. I wanted a recipe I could make at home that tasted similar but didn’t require 101 ingredients.
Ingredients – Here’s What You Need
- Ground Chicken
- Bell Pepper
- Garlic & Onion
- Hoisin Sauce
- Soy Sauce
- Water Chestnuts
- White or Brown Rice
- Green Onions
- Rice Vinegar & Sesame Oil (Optional)
- Iceberg Lettuce
I just love a good slow cooker recipe and this one is a keeper! Once everything is in the slow cooker you can leave it to get on with its thing for 2-3 hours whilst you get on with more important things like putting your feet up!
Make It Even Healthier!
These are a breeze to throw together and it makes a large batch so you might be lucky enough to have some left for lunch the next day. I also want to try and make these even healthier with quinoa in place of the rice sometime soon. If you beat me to it let me know how you like it.
In the recipe below I listed the vinegar and sesame oil as optional because that’s not found in the recipe I adapted from Cook’s Illustrated, I just wanted a little more flavor so I added it to mine but depending on the hoisin sauce you use you may not need it.
