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?

Simple and quick…delicious
I’ve made this so many times over the years, I only just realized I never rated it. Everything she says is true, it tastes just like PF Chang’s, it’s very low carb, it can be made in 20-25 minutes (I grind my own chicken thighs), and it’s Damn Delicious 😉
Wow. I never made anything like this before and I’m so glad I tried it. So easy and so delicious. I used tofu instead of chicken. Five stars all the way.
So delicious and easy. My husband actually went for seconds! He only goes for a 2nd helping when it’s exceptionally delicious. Paired this dish with an Asian carrot salad.
I will join the chorus and say this is soooo good, I used a little less hot sauce and I sloshed in a little apple cider vinegar but otherwise kept it all the same. You don’t even know the water chestnuts are in there they just add a little texture but otherwise disappear. This stays in my rotation for sure
SO GOOD! And really easy, too! These are going into the regular rotation. I used Turkey instead of chicken & romaine lettuce leaves instead of butter leaf lettuce, and I added 1/2 Tbsp. of sriracha, which was just the right amount of spice for my wimpy palate – lol.
I just had lettuce wraps at PF Chang’s a little over a week ago, and these were easily as good if not better; 10/10 recommend!
Was everything they said it would be! Fast and delicious. I actually accidentally bought ground turkey instead of chicken and I loved it!
Been using your recipe for years, everyone in my household is a fan.
I use ground turkey most of the time and add mushrooms at the end. I garnish with avocado and cilantro and drizzle drops of Sriracha.
So ono!!
My moody, teen son said multiple times–unsolicited–that he really liked this! The whole family had happy taste buds. Mom for the win!
Delicious, added diced mushrooms and substituted mirin for some of the hoisin sauce.
I can’t remember if I have commented yet, so forgive me if I already have. I simply wanted to say that these lettuce wraps are so freaking delish and surprisingly enough, super filling. I do have one important point and that is I have eaten these with ground chicken one time and twice with ground turkey and the turkey, hands down, is the best protein choice by a landslide. That says a whole lot coming from me too as I do Not typically enjoy ground turkey in anything. It’s like the turkey flavor is so neutral that all the other flavors are allowed to come through. The chicken for me tasted strangely heavy and the flavor profile wasn’t very pleasing to me. I highly recommend trying this recipe with the turkey. This recipe is a permanent resident in my recipe files. It’s easy and quick to make and yummy. A win-win
I love this recipe so much. I’m not a fan of water chestnuts, so I replace them with chopped peanuts to get some crunchy texture. Amazing!
This recipe is always a hit in my house, idk why I don’t make it more often.
Such a great copycat recipe.
Perfect all the time. I doubled the recipe because it is just that good. I also added mushrooms to bulk it up because I read another one of the reviews who did that. DELICIOUS!!!!
The best lettuce wrap recipe! I have been making it for a few years now.
Delicious and so easy!
Made this recipe only added 1tsp sriracha-perfect amount -however I tasted before serving and felt it was missing something-I added 2 tblsp hoisin – helped but not there?????
We sprinkled crushed peanuts on servings-
Did not add salt didn’t feel it needed it also sauces had plenty-used gluten free soy.
Very good …. I used finely diced chicken breast, water chestnuts,
red bell pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. I chopped some cilantro for the topping.
I didn’t have butter lettuce or iceberg, so I served it on a bed of Spring Mix. DELICIOUS
Very good replica!
Excellent, easy recipe for a weeknight dinner. Will definitely make again.
I mostly followed the recipe as is, except I browned the onions before adding the chicken. I didn’t have hoisin so I used some oyster sauce, though not nearly 1/4 cup (probably 1-2 tbsp if I had to guess).
