| 1 onion, finely diced | 1/4 cup green onions; sliced |

| 1/4 cup soy sauce | 1 head of iceberg or butter lettuce; leaves separated |

Preparation
1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened. Add ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.

3. Create the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and grated ginger.
4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Pour the sauce over the seasoned chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and allow the flavors to meld for 2-3 minutes.
5. Add Freshness: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in sliced green onions. Optionally, sprinkle chopped peanuts over the chicken mixture for added crunch.
6. Assemble Lettuce Wraps: Spoon the seasoned chicken mixture into individual lettuce leaves, creating wraps.
7. Serve: Arrange the lettuce wraps on a serving platter. Garnish with additional green onions and peanuts, if desired.
