Add ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in chopped water chestnuts, green onions, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro and red pepper flakes to taste.

To serve, spoon the chicken mixture into individual lettuce leaves.

Top with shredded carrots and chopped peanuts if desired.

Wrap the lettuce around the filling and enjoy!
