Steps:
- Lightly coat a 5-quart or larger slow cooker with nonstick spray. In a small bowl, stir together the hoisin, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high. Add the chicken and brown the meat, breaking it into small pieces. Continue cooking until no longer pink, about 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in the white and light green parts of the green onions, ginger, and garlic. Cook 30 additional seconds.
- Transfer the meat mixture to the slow cooker. Stir in the chopped mushrooms, carrots, red pepper flakes, and sauce. Cover and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours until the mixture is thickened and the chicken is ultra tender. (Do not be tempted to cook on HIGH, as the chicken will become tough.) Stir in the water chestnuts and green parts of the green onions.
- To serve, separate the butter lettuce leaves and fill with the chicken mixture. Enjoy hot.

ASIAN CHICKPEA LETTUCE WRAPS
A few months back I posted this recipe for Spicy Basil Lettuce Chicken Wraps. Made with PF Chang's lettuce wraps in mind, I created the aformentioned recipe as a healthier alternative. PF Chang's version is laden with calories, carbohydrates (22% of your daily recommended value) and unhealthy fats (15% of your daily recommended saturated fat allocation). As an aside, check out LiveStrong.com for more nutritional facts about Pf Chang's lettuce wraps and other restaurant food reviews. Having not made this in months, my desire to eat an almost entirely meat based dish has gone straight out the window. Whipping up a vegetarian version seemed like the only logical solution. When in doubt, substitute beans for chicken. Which type of beans just depends on the taste you are going for. Chickpeas pack the perfect punch for the vegetarian version of this recipe. They can be broken down into a semi-ground state perfectly and they soak up the asian flavors of this dish, not missing a single beat i

Steps:
- Drain and rinse both cans of chickpeas.
- Place chickpeas in a food processor and puree in 5-10 second increments. You do not want to turn the chickpeas into a mash, you simply want to grind them into pieces.
- Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to a pan and heat.
- Add the chickpeas and let cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, continuously stirring so as not to burn.
- Add remaining ingredients, except basil, and stir. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occassionally.
- If using basil leaves, add them and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring the basil in and allowing it to wilt.
- Wash lettuce leaves and pat dry.
- Spoon a healthy serving of chickpea mixture onto lettuce wraps and serve immediately. Drizzle with sirachi sauce if desired.
Tips:
- To make the lettuce wraps even more flavorful, use a variety of different lettuces, such as romaine, butterhead, or iceberg.
- If you don't have any rice vinegar, you can substitute white vinegar or lemon juice.
- To make the wraps more spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce.
- If you're short on time, you can use canned chickpeas instead of dried chickpeas.
- Be sure to wrap the lettuce wraps tightly so that they don't fall apart when you eat them.
