Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

This is one of those mimicked recipes from a chain restaurant, and I actually think it is better than PF Changs or Pei Wei.  And because it's homemade, it's probably a million times healthier.  I've previously used Iceburg lettuce because Boston is nearly impossible to find in my rural area, but I'm sure you'll be more lucky.

1 lb ground chicken
1 tbsp minced ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 scallions, chopped
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1 tsp sriracha
1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
1 head of Boston lettuce, leaves separated, cleaned and dried

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook chicken until cooked through.  Stir in ginger, scallions, garlic, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, sriracha, hoisin and cook until heated through (about 1 minute).  Remove from heat and stir in peanuts.  Serve warm wrapped in lettuce leaves.
