P.F. Chang's Restaurant Style Chicken Lettuce Wraps (A Low Carb Copycat)

This is a delicious low carb version of a
popular dish that is served at
P.F. Chang's restaurants.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon avocado oil or bacon grease
1 tablespoon toasted coconut oil
1 pound of ground chicken or turkey
2 cups diced sweet yellow onion
1/3 cup homemade hoisin sauce**
1 tablespoon coconut vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Asian Chili garlic sauce
3 - 4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
8 ounce can water chestnuts, drained & finely diced
3 teaspoons dried chives
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
romaine or butter lettuce leaves, rinsed and dried on paper towels***
1 cup toasted coconut****
sriracha sauce

Method:
Add the oils to a large skillet and heat over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, occasionally, until crumbly and fully cooked. Do not drain. 
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion, hoisin sauce, vinegar and chili garlic sauce. Stir to mix and cook, for 5 minutes, or until the onion is softened and most of the liquid is absorbed into the meat.
Stir in the garlic and ginger and continue cooking for another minute or two. Add the water chestnuts, chives and salt & pepper. Cook until the water chestnuts become tender. 
Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons of the seasoned meat onto a lettuce leaf. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of toasted coconut and if you desire more spice, dot with sriracha sauce. 
Makes approximately 4 cups. (16 to 20 servings)

**Store bought hoisin sauce is high in carbs, because it contains sugar. Please see the following recipe for an easy to make, homemade low carb sauce, that you can use instead:

***Romaine leaves work best, but butter leaf lettuce can also be used.

****To make toasted coconut, preheat oven to 350*. Spread 1 cup of flaked coconut on a baking sheet. Bake for 4 minutes, or just until lightly golden. 
Store completely cooled toasted coconut in an airtight container. Use as a crunchy garnish on salads, desserts and more.
