Servings: 4 servings
Sauce:
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
Filling & wraps:
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 chicken breasts cut into small pieces
- 6 oz button mushrooms cut into small pieces
- 3 oz shiitake mushrooms diced
- 4 green onions thinly sliced
- 1 head of romaine lettuce leaves picked, washed and spinned
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
Place the sauce ingredients into a small jar and shake vigorously to combine.
Heat the sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, around 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the mushrooms and continue to cook for 5 minutes, until softened. Add in the sauce, and stir to combine, allowing it to bubble for a couple of minutes until thickened. Remove the pan from heat and allow it to cool for a bit, then sprinkle with green onions.
Lay the prepared lettuce leaves on a platter or wooden board and spoon in the chicken and mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Storing leftovers: Store the meat and lettuce in separate airtight containers in the fridge. Properly stored, your leftovers should stay fresh for about 5 days.
- Freezing: You can freeze the filling in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Simply thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature when you're ready to enjoy.
