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?
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

- 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.

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.
Too much Sriracha! Cut to half. Other than that, perfection.
I made this last night. Very yummy. My BF went back for seconds. Thank you for a great recipe. I will make this again.
Oh that’s awesome! Seconds are the best 🙂
This is a super reciple. The taste is wonderful!! Everyone in the family loves it so much I always double it so we have leftovers. I don’t change anything. My husband and grandson like it a little heartier so I serve it over steamed rice for them!! My daughter is gluten free so I have to find gluten free hoisin sauce and tamari sauce instead of soy sauce. If you can’t find gluten free hoisin sauce in the supermarket you can make a gluten free version found on the internet.
Thank you for sharing your experience Liz! So happy to hear this turned out great for you and your fam.
Winner! I’ve made this several times sans sriracha (not my spice style) and I really love it. It is quick; it is easy; it is delicious. This recipe is now saved with my favorites.aria.
How much is one serving? I see it serves four. I make this all the time. I double everything aside from the onion and the Waterbury chestnuts and I add a bit more serachia and hoisin saise. Love it! NEED serving size though.
Kyndra, it’s really difficult to answer how many wraps is equivalent to a single serving especially because some people tend to fill their wraps up more so than others! It may be helpful to divide the mixture into 4 equal servings to serve 4. Hope that helps!
