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
- 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.

Ok, so I fall into the category of people who make food but rarely comment. This was FANTASTIC!!! It took next to no time to cook, essentially costs butter lettuce and chicken so a solid $5 dolla in my life, and tasted sooooo good. In all the “quick dinner” meals I’ve made this takes the cake. Seriously about the same effort and time as cooking pasta and sauce, but way better. Thank you so much!
Oh.my.god! This is seriously some mouthwatering stuff, need to try this!
This is a HIT with my teens … and me!!!
Very tasty! I don’t find it necessary to use olive oil when browning ground chicken breast, more calories saved. Served on lettuce as shown and with rice/cauliflower. Could also envision topping with chopped peanuts. Thanks so much for the recipe!
I admit I butchered the recipe because I was just using what I had on hand, so if anyone is wondering, gochujang can be used in place of hoisin, mirin and a squeeze of lime can be used in place of rice vinegar and ground chicken can be used instead of chicken breasts. I also added sesame oil for some oomph and a little peanut powder to thicken the whole thing a little bit. Definitely came out with a little bit of a different flavor profile than PF Chang’s but still really similar and so damn delicious! I made this as directed and then put it in a slow cooker to serve at a potluck. It was a hit and every bit was finished by the time I went home. I did not make the special sauce to go with it.
Wow!!! These are so easy and delicious!!! And this comes from someone who doesn’t enjoy cooking very much. It smelled so heavenly, I was thrilled to be cooking It! Thank you so much for posting!! Looking forward to trying other recipes of yours!
Absolutely loved these lettuce wraps – but found the majority of the unnecessary comments distasteful.
Loved it.. can you please post the receipe for the sauce that goes with lettuce wraps?
I do not have that recipe at this time. Sorry!
I was going to explain why my family loved this recipe, but after reading the comments from all the trolls on this site I think this will be my first and last comment. What a shame.
Hi! I’m excited to finally try these lettuce wraps! For the chicken, did you use ground chicken breast or was it a mix of white and dark meat? I’m looking to reduce the fat wherever possible to accommodate my macros. Thank you!
I used white meat.
I used ground turkey as it was on sale plus I prefer iceberg lettuce …can put in freezer for a couple of minutes so it’s really cold…nice complement to the heat in the ingredients. Even my grans love it and had two helpings and have asked me to make it often. Others have said that it tastes just like PF Changs! Can’t thank you enough!
I love every recipe on your blog!! I have now decided to make them without reading reviews. People are out of control with their comments and rants that have absolutely nothing to do with the recipe! This is very unfair and actually RUDE to Chungah. I can’t justify scrolling through 500+ comments to look for the ones that relate to a recipe.
Getting ready to try these! Can’t wait!
Made this last night but added cabbage and served over rice. DELICIOUS!!!!!
I couldn’t locate my usual go-to chicken lettuce wrap recipe but found this one and have always loved your other recipes. I AM SO GLAD that I couldn’t find my original one! This was absolutely wonderful! Can’t wait to make it again. Followed the recipe to the letter. It made so much and was delicious! THANK YOU!!!!!!
I made this recipe (doubled) for a sick friend and her family. I almost had to go back to the store to buy more ingredients as I sampled it before delivery. Then I sampled again. And again. IT. IS. DELICIOUS. (And so easy!) The friend and family RAVED about how much they loved it for days and days.
I made the recipe exactly as written, except used ground turkey instead of ground chicken. Perfect! Thank you!
Can’t wait to make, it looks YUMMY!!!! 🙂
Absolutely perfect recipe. My wife and I LOVED it. Change nothing, just follow this recipe as written.
Thanks much!
So so good! I used low sodium soy sauce and added a bit more sriracha sauce. Ended up eating it over lettuce like a salad not lettuce wraps it was awesome. Hubby loves it too. I’m looking forward to lunch tomorrow with leftovers!
Love love love thanks! Does anyone have the copycat recipe for the chili sauce they serve on the side!? They used to mix it tablesise but can’t remeber what it was. GREAT RECIPE!!
