P.F. CHANG’S CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS

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.

Ingredients Needed:

• ground chicken
• olive oil
• sesame oil
• salt and pepper
• yellow onion
• garlic
• water chestnuts
• hoisin sauce
• low-sodium soy sauce
• apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar
• sweet chili sauce
• ground ginger
• butter lettuce

How to make P.F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps?

• Heat up oil in a skillet and cook chicken until done.
• Add onion and garlic and cook for a few minutes.
• Whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, sweet chili sauce and ginger are together.
• Pour over cooked chicken and simmer.
• Add chopped water chestnuts for texture.
• Serve in lettuce leaves.

How to make homemade ground chicken from chicken breast?

If you don’t have ground chicken on hand, you can slice boneless skinless chicken breast into slices, partially freeze it (20 to 30 minutes in the freezer should do it), then pulse in the food processor until you reach desired texture.

Can I use other ground meat to make this dish?

If you don’t like or have chicken on hand, you can also make this recipe with ground turkey or lean ground beef.

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.
