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?

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.

Made these wraps tonight. They were delious! Thanks for sharing thus recipe. ***** 5 stars!
Thank you, Julie!
This recipe is seriously delicious. Though not exactly the flavors represented in P.F. Chang’s lettuce wraps, it’s so similar, and still soo good, and also very much not as $$$ as a typical meal from P.F. Chang’s. I made a few adjustments/additions. I created a side of sauce from a mix of the Soy sauce, Hoisin Sauce, Rice Vinegar, and ginger powder. This was something that could be drizzled on top or dipped into. I also used Iceberg lettuce rather than butter lettuce. That’s typically what we get when we order from P.F. Chang’s and I just personally prefer the crunchiness of the lettuce. I have been so impressed time and time again by the consistency of health and delicious taste from this site. I guarantee I will be adding this to my meal plan cycle. Also, this works as leftovers like a dream!!
Thank you for sharing, Sonia!
Oml these were delicious I’ve never had pf changs as I am from Australia but I love home cooked Chinese i was in the mood for san choy bao but didn’t have any pork or beef mince all i had was chicken thighs i followed the recipe to the T and I will definitely make this again i didn’t add any siracha as I am very intolerant to chilli due to gi tract issues and added extra spring onion and garlic and extra water chestnuts as I am in love with water chestnuts lol i ate 8 lettuce wraps without noticing because they were so delicious and being post chemotherapy treatment this provided the protein i needed I’m free of cancer thank goodness i think i might start saving up for a trip to the USA a sort of food testing trip and I will most definitely cook your other recipes thank you for such a delicious recipe
Awesome! What a great idea! We hope you get to go on your trip!
Made it tonight and OMG it was fabulous, it was as if we were at PF Chang’s.
Yay!
Has anyone tried freezing the mixture and then thawing to put in fresh lettuce?
Well- I’ve made this at least 5 times so I figured I should show thanks. Lol. It’s awesome. My kids love it. THe only change I make is I substitute half the meat with Riced cauliflower kids don’t even know and usually I always get caught with my healthy subs!!!
Aw thank you, Jennifer! Happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed it!
What is making the fat so high? Over 15 grams seems odd…
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!!…Delicious…Having leftovers for lunch tomorrow!!..
Leftovers are the best! Glad you liked it!
Yum. This is definitely a keeper!
I made this last week and my family loved it. I can’t wait to try more of your recipes. They all look
so good. I look forward to opening my email and seeing something to try. You are appreciated I
love your recipes
Thank You
Thank you, Marion!
Chungah, I made this meal tonight and damn…it was delicious!!!!I look forward to trying more of your recipes. Thank you for sharing.
That’s great! We hope you’ll find more recipes you love in the future!
This recipe was simple and delicious. My wife, kids and I wanted to try something different for dinner tonight. We made this into our dinner and it was great. We enjoyed the experience. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing, Nisha!
Wow! Seriously delicious and easy to make. A new household favorite. We opted to use half of a small onion and ground ginger otherwise followed the recipe. Used Iceberg lettuce.
Sweet! Thanks for sharing.
My first visit to your blog, but it will not be my last. FANTASTIC recipe. Used shredded carrots and bean sprouts as toppers for added color and crunch and 1 tsp of Sriracha. Had a glass of white wine and pigged out. Is there a way you can have comments separated from reviews as some other sites do? Hated wading through all those dumb comments top get to real reviews.
What if you have ground Turkey available in freezer? Is it still worth getting ground chicken?
Sometimes, these small changes in a recipe really make the taste change.
Yes, ground turkey would be great in this recipe!
I’ve made it with ground turkey a few times and couldn’t tell the difference.
This is also great on riced cauliflower if you want to turn it into a main dish
I have been on a pizza kick for awhile now and am always looking for creative new pies. I made this and put it on a Boboli Pizza Cruist and it is absolutely amazing! Best pizza I have ever had! I added a light layer of Italian 5-blend shredded cheese. No need for sauce, and, of course, you omit the lettuce. Thank you sharing your taste here 🙂
Very creative! Thanks for sharing.
I made this for dinner!! Omg amazing thank you thank you for the recipie! I used ground turkey and it was awesome sauce keep the recipes coming
Love it Carol! We will!
These were so bomb! Wish i had more! Took me like 5 mins to scroll down to the bottom of your page to comment though. Wish commenting was a little more easier though.
Thanks for taking the time to comment!
GROW UP PEOPLE!! Chungah, perhaps it time to remind people to keep their comments about the recipes? I always browse the comments to get a feel for how the recipe was received, the reason they’re there, right? I saw pages and pages of people’s outrageous comments belittling each other and being rude and inconsiderate to each other. Such bad behavior has no place on a recipe website.
