Directions:
Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the chicken as it cooks; drain excess fat.

*If using already cooked chicken, add it in after the vegetables are cooked (about 3-5 minutes)*

Stir in garlic, onion, red pepper and carrots.

Add hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and ginger until onions have become translucent, about 1-2 minutes.

Stir in chestnuts and green onions until tender, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style. If using peanuts, sprinkle on top.
