Skip takeout and make an easy Asian dinner at home. These lettuce wraps are easy, just like my Skinny Orange Chicken or Sweet and Sour Chicken.
Over the years, I acquired quite the collection of copycat recipes of our favorite restaurant meals. I absolutely love recreating our favorites and adding them to our weekly menu. These Chicken Lettuce Wraps that are a copycat of P. F. Chang's restaurant, are one of them. This popular dish is one of the easiest to make and also very versatile. Lettuce wraps can be made with any filling you like and any lettuce you like. For this recipe, I used ground chicken (that you can easily make at home from a boneless skinless chicken breast) that's cooked in a sauce with all the Asian flavors you love.

What is the best type of lettuce for lettuce wraps?
Any kind! Typically, you will see lettuce cups recipes call for butter lettuce. That includes Boston and Bibb lettuce, which are varieties of butterhead lettuce. You can also use Romaine lettuce as the leaves are strong enough to be filled. They look more like boats then cups.

These lettuce wraps look so delicious and easy to make. I’ve been craving something similar from a restaurant, so I’ll definitely give this a try
Benjamin says
Absolutely delicious. Tastes just like the restaurant version
Renee says
The flavor is spot on savory, slightly sweet, and packed with just the right amount of crunch from the water chestnuts. Recipe nails the PF Chang’s version, but honestly, it tastes even fresher made at home. Super quick, healthy, and perfect for dinner or lunch. This one’s a keeper.
Luke says
It looks inconspicuous, and the taste of this dish surprised me very nicely.
