Make restaurant-style P.F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps at home. This easy recipe uses ground chicken in a savory Asian sauce, ready in under 30 minutes for a healthy, low-carb dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped water chestnuts
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped mushrooms (cremini or white button)
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (for filling)
  • 1 head butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated and washed
  • Optional garnish: extra green onions, chopped peanuts

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is fully browned and no pink remains. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped water chestnuts, mushrooms, ginger, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the sauce.
  5. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the 1/4 cup of chopped green onions.
  7. Arrange the clean, dry lettuce cups on a serving platter.
  8. Spoon the savory chicken filling into each lettuce cup. Garnish with extra green onions or peanuts if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, you can add a tablespoon of crispy fried onions to the filling mixture.
  • If you prefer diced chicken over ground chicken, cook it first until done, then proceed with the recipe.
  • To make this a low-carb chicken dinner, skip adding the brown sugar or substitute it with a zero-calorie sweetener.
  • We use butter lettuce because the leaves hold the filling well, but iceberg lettuce gives you that classic crisp texture.
