Ingredients:
- 1 lb. ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons OLEA's Baklouti Fused Olive Oil (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Instructions:
- Heat the Baklouti pepper olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, sautéing until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground chicken to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula.
- Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper during cooking.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil, mixing well.
- Add the diced water chestnuts and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the chopped green onions just before removing from heat.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Spoon the chicken mixture into individual lettuce leaves.
- Drizzle a little more Baklouti pepper olive oil over each wrap for extra spice.
- Garnish with chopped peanuts, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
Serve immediately, allowing each person to wrap their own lettuce around the chicken mixture.
