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?
PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, diced
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha, optional
- 1 (8-ounce) can whole water chestnuts, drained and diced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 head butter lettuce
Equipment
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the chicken as it cooks; drain excess fat.
- Stir in garlic, onion, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger and Sriracha until onions have become translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in chestnuts and green onions until tender, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style.

These were delicious and so satisfying. I filled up and felt guilt free. It was so nice being full but not feeling gross and I actually enjoyed the meal which is the best part because it’s a healthy alternative. Highly recommend. I also used ground ginger instead and it came out just as delicious.
how much ground ginger please?
This recipe is wonderful. I did not add the sriracha, and served it on Trader Joe’s jicama wraps. Perfect!
What a great recipe! Thank you so much for sharing it. My husband loved it and was so simple to make. We have to agree with you on being better than PF Chang’s.
I deal with a very picky mother and sister so when cooking dinner, I usually have to end up making pasta every night which drives me insane. (I do love pasta but after a while it gets tiring.) Hoping to please them when I go over next by making this recipe. I’ve made this recipe with my grandmother twice and we absolutely love it. With school starting for me soon I won’t have time to cook often and know this recipe will be helpful as I tend to take longer than the original recipe states. (Never has happened with this recipe though)
I am gonna try it! Yemmyyyyyyy
Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe
Terrific recipe. I added some zucchini and mushrooms.
Made this for dinner tonight and it was, in fact, damn delicious. Even my picky kids liked it and ate it without complaint. This is one of my and my husband’s go-to orders at Chang’s, which is unfortunately fairly far away, so this was definitely just like being there. Thanks for another winner!
These turned out super delicious. I altered the recipe by using sesame sauce instead of hoisin and added some shredded carrots for color. The butter lettuce makes for the perfect wrap. A great alternative to our traditional Taco Tuesday.
Looks like a simple and delicious recipe. I think I will try it in the weekend.
My go to recipe for lettuce wraps! No fail, absolutely delicious, consistently good every time. I bet this is your #1 post for your analytics!
Super good recipe and an easy dinner. I added shredded carrots and topped with finely chopped peanuts.
Delicious! I knew this was going to be good just from the smell in my kitchen while it was cooking. Thanks for the great recipe!
This is delicious! I used a small electric chopper to grind the chunks of boneless skinless chicken breast before cooking, it worked great. This recipe tastes just like PF Chang’s, costs less, quick to make and feeds more! Thank you
Amazing! I made mine gluten free and they tasted just like PF Chang’s- excellent recipe. I will definitely make this again.
We do rice, shred lettuce on top and then do the meat mixture! Easy and delicious!
How do you make it gluten free?
GF soy sauce and GF hoisin sauce are the only things you need to alter.
Just made this for lunch.. I was craving yesterday and stumbled upon this recipe.. I had ground turkey instead of chicken, and used garlic chili paste instead of sriracha had the 2 replacements on hand.. yum will def make again!
Absolutely delicious. The whole family enjoys this recipe.
Delish!! Everyone enjoys this wonderful dish…so good for your figure, too!
Loved this recipe but felt it needed a little boost at the end in the lettuce cup so, added chopped salted cashews and cilantro, (the idea came from an Epicurious recipe), really brought the flavors to life!
I hate when tasty food takes little to no time to make because it’s so easy to eat it too often and usually it’s high on carbs :). This one is quick to make but low on carbs so I’ll be without any kind of guilt as you are…Thank You!
So simple, yet so tasty!
For those who love cilantro, add to the wrap and it’ll make big difference. You think this recipe is great as is, but after having it with cilantro, this original recipe seems like an A- compared to an A+ with cilantro.
Agreed
Simple and easy best combo
