PF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps

A copycat recipe that you can easily make right at home in just 20 minutes. And it tastes a million times better too!
I am such a sucker for lettuce wraps. They are so low in carbs so I become a bottomless pit, stuffing my face without any kind of guilt. And when it’s an exact PF Chang’s replica that can be made in 20 minutes or less – well, that just means I’m having this 5 times a week.
I kid you not. This is the easiest, quickest meal you could ever make. And if you’re quick in the kitchen, you could even get this on the dinner table in less than 15 minutes. Plus, it’s budget-friendly and you can easily double or triple the recipe as needed. What more could you ask for?

Thank you for this recipe. I’ve made it about eight times now for my family and it’s always a hit.
Love this, just as good as PF Chang’s recipe! Thanks!
I make these ALL the time! So fast and easy to put together. SO flavorful and we make potstickers to go on the side. One of our favs!!
Made this for part of an all-apps dinner, husband said “Company Dish”
I can’t believe I waited so long to make these. I had see this recipe a while ago and always wanted to make it. I am trying to eat healthier so I pulled this one out. This is so delicious. So easy to make. These reheat well. It made enough for dinner and lunch. Don’t wait like I did. I will not wait so long to make again.
This recipe is damn delicious! I’ve made it a couple of times! I freeze in little containers so lunch is always ready!
I simply loved making this recipe. I will be making this again next week.
Easy, fresh and yummy!
Yummiest. We’ve made it 3 times in 5 weeks.
Great recipe, copy cat or not. It’s a one pan meal that turns out incredible! I think it would be really difficult to mess it up!
Thank you so much, because I’ll admit that I am not a person who can eat something & tell you how it was made.
Really like this recipe and easily scalable for larger groups. If your on a clean30/whole30, swap in some raw almond butter (2 tbsp) for hoisin and coconut aminos for soy sauce.
A different flavor but the almond butter adds a nice richness.
This was SO delicious!! My husband can’t stop talking about it! Thank you for sharing!
LOVE LOVE!! I’ve made this many times for our family. So Good!! Although, I do quadruple the sauce ingredients (except the siracha, easy on that one) because, I double this recipe. This is a great meal for leftovers and prep meals.
…..also, add shredded carrots…
This recipe is delicious! I tried a different recipe for lettuce wraps before making this one, and while that one was ok this one was way better, and I incorporated a few elements from the first recipe and the result was perfect!
Soooo good! You don’t need salt though, the soy sauce and hoisin are salty enough. I served with baby corn and shredded purple cabbage for a little extra crunch!
Good recipe but not true to PF Chang’s. Add the Chinese cellophane to the top. and mushrooms in the chicken and I think it’s missing fish/ oyster sauce to be true copycat
This recipe is delicious! I tried a different recipe for lettuce wraps before making this one, and while that one was ok this one was way better, and I incorporated a few elements from the first recipe and the result was perfect!
I double this recipe, and added 1/4 Cup oyster sauce, 1 tsp of fish oil along with the other hoisin sauce and instead of Sriracha I used 2 spicy red chili’s (I folded them once chicken was browned and before all the sauce)
Will making this for years to come!
Thanks

Fish oil, or fish sauce?
Super quick and easy!! Favorite of everyone’s!
I make this recipe for more more tha one year now and we still like it a lot
Are these really tasty lettuce wraps? Yes. Do they taste like PF Changs? No.
I love lettuce wraps and this recipe is easy and delicious. I use sesame oil instead of olive oil, and I do add some chopped mushrooms and carrots to the mixture, also, to give it a little extra texture. I also use sambol oelek (chili paste) instead of Sriracha. I make this recipe over and over again. It is damn delicious.
