How to Make It
To begin making the Asian chicken lettuce wraps, set your slow cooker on low and add the ground chicken, garlic, red bell pepper, yellow onion, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, salt and pepper. For best results cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook for 4-5 hours or until the chicken is cooked through. Once finished cooking you can turn off the heat and stir in the water chestnuts.

Next you need to prepare your rice according to the package instructions. Once finished cooking stir in green onions and season with salt and pepper if desired. Then combine the rice vinegar and sesame oil in a small bowl (this step is optional). Now it’s time for assembly! Start by spooning some of your cooked chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf then top with some of your prepared rice mixture and drizzle with some of your vinegar/oil mixture (optional). Serve while warm or at room temperature with additional garnishes like diced avocado or cilantro leaves if desired.

These slow cooker Asian chicken lettuce wraps are not only incredibly delicious but they are also incredibly easy to make!
