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?

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.

- To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style.

Wonderful! Husband and I both loved this. I’m needing to change my diet and avoid wheat and this was a great recipe to add to my new menu planning! Will be making it again! I did cut the hoisin sauce in half, and substituted celery for water chestnuts.
Taste just like PF Chang’s. I use ground turkey instead of ground chicken and still taste great!
These are better than the restaurant’s. Thank you.
Used ground turkey instead of chicken because that’s all I had. Also used oyster sauce and sesame oil instead of Hoisin as suggested by another review. I added just a touch of brown sugar. Also added a bit more green onion. It was spicy and delicious! I bet it will be even better with ground chicken.
This is delicious! My entire family LOVES it and it’s hard to find something everyone loves! I’ve made it several times. This time I used ground turkey b/c the ground chicken wasn’t available. It was just as good. I’m not the best cook, but this recipe makes me seem like a great cook! 🙂
Absolutely amazing! My new favorite recipe! So quick & simple! And so delicious I had it for breakfast (yes breakfast!) AND lunch!
This is delicious! I made a double batch, and also added some grated carrot and snow peas cut on the bias. I also cooked up some Jasmine rice – it was delicious both in butter lettuce leaves and over the rice.
Can I use pine nuts instead of whole chestnuts?
The recipe calls for water chestnuts- way different from chestnuts! Lol
Awesomeness! Followed the recipe to a t best lettuce wraps I’ve ever had!
These are better than PF Chang’s! This recipe is wonderful! Have made them over and over! Yummmy

Very good! PF Changs is hubs favorite. He loved these. Hoisin has a very high sugar content though, so I cut it in half and subbed it for 2 tbsp oyster sauce and 1tsp sesame oil. Amazing and drops the carbs/sugar even lower without sacrificing the flavor one bit!
This is a great recipe! Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely delicious! I’m trying to find freezer friendly meals. I feel like it’ll do okay to freeze and thaw. Thoughts? Thanks!
If freezing, I’d leave out the green onion and possibly the water chestnuts until reheating. Preserve the crunch and prevent the onions from being limp and soggy.
Damn delicious! That’s all I have to say!
I made it to the point, I had to do it again in same day. 1st batch disappeared in 15 min. Second batch was with 3 lbs of ground chicken and lasted a bit longer. Thank you!
Thank you for writing about this. I tried at home the first time that was too yummy. Keep writing that helps us in getting an idea about new recipes.
Excellent!! So easy and uses ingredients I usually have in my pantry on standby. A delicious use for the ground chicken I keep buying and hadn’t (until now) found a great use for. This recipe will be making a regular appearance in our dinner rotation.
Delicious!!
