  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sriracha (if using) for the sauce.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture and toss to coat evenly; cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through and slightly thickened.
Serve
  1. Spoon the chicken mixture into individual butter lettuce leaves.
  2. Garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crunch, you can add some shredded carrots or bell peppers to the chicken mixture. You can also use ground turkey instead of chicken.
