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.

It was super hit. Everyone in the family loved it.
Great recipe. I make these a lot. But why add a step with the water chestnuts? You say to use whole, then dice them. You can buy them diced. Less utensils, less time.
These are amazing!
I used a homemade hoisin sauce recipe I found that used only a little honey – as the sauces I found at the store had lots of sugar.
I couldn’t stop eating them!
They’re going into the rotation for sure!
Do you still have that recipes?
Used ground chicken once in a chicken ball and hated it, so was hesitant to try again in this recipe. Very quick and easy recipe. Spicy and hot is not good for our bellies, so ommitted Sriracha. My smeller and taster does work like it should. I asked hubby to taste it before making the wrap. With one spoonful, looked at me and shook his head no. While thinking what esle can I make , he takes two more spoonfuls and says excellent. Then filled the lettuce. First time using butter lettuce which I think made a big difference. However the filling kelp falling out. Usually don’t comment, but others need not worry to give it a try.
Could you please share the hoisin recipe?
Would you share your homemade hoisin sauce recipe ?
These were delicious!! I added shredded carrots which gave it some more color and tasted great. I also had to make my own hoisin sauce (peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, sesame oil) because I didn’t have any available. The peanut taste from the peanut butter was really nice!
Fabulous!
I am a college student and I made this as an appetizer and all my family members loved it(even the picky ones)! It’s so easy, and very delicious and the best thing is that it doesn’t take a long time and only requires a handful of ingredients. I recommend everyone to try this recipe. I always get compliments and requests to make it again soon.
My Family loved this recipe, easy to make and very good!
Omg! Amazing. Yum!
I tried this recipe and did a blind side by side comparison with the restaurant version and this is wayyyyy better. It wasn’t even close.
i made this for my family today and WOAH!!!!!!!!! These are my favorite things ive ever cooked. Thanks for the great recipe!
Yum!!! This was so good and easy!! Can’t wait to make again next week. 🙂
When I told my husband I was making this for dinner his comment was “gross, I don’t like that stuff”. After dinner he asked if I would cook it for dinner tomorrow! Needless to say he loved it.
Delicious!! Love this recipe!!
Great!
Delicious!!
Damn these are good! Seriously best chicken lettuce wraps ever, thank you!
This recipe is DAMN DELICIOUS!
I’ve made this at least a dozen times because my finicky 5yo and 7yo love them.
Awesome! Easy to make and tastes great!
These wraps are just delicious. Found this recipe more than a year ago and have made them many times. They just disappear at parties. Sooooo good. (Not sure if I reviewed before so thought I’d do so now.)
I needed this recipe in my life. Followed to a T (except for green onions) and they were delicious. Leftovers were great as well! Thanks for this – looking forward to making this regularly!
Awesome!
