Lately I've been craving these chicken lettuce wraps! They're perfect as a meal during the summer as I tend to eat lighter and healthier during the warmer months. It's a great combination of hearty, satisfying, yet light and healthy. I've been eating these almost every week as they're so simple and easy to make!
Tips for Making PF Chang's Inspired Chicken Lettuce Wraps:
- Use Butter, Bibb, or Boston lettuce. They're all different varieties under the same category of Butterhead lettuce. Iceberg lettuce can be substituted.
- Add water chestnuts or other crunchy vegetables for texture. Fresh bean sprouts or bamboo shoots would make good substitutes.
- To make it spicy, add in a chopped jalapeno or a heaping spoonful of chili garlic sauce.
- The filling can be made a day or two ahead for a fast weeknight meal.
- You can substitute with any ground meat such as pork, turkey, or beef.
Start by breaking up the ground chicken and then add the onions, mushrooms, jalapeno, and water chestnuts. Next add in the sauce and stir fry for a few more minutes.
Finish with cilantro and scallions and garnish with sesame seeds.
This is a great meal to make ahead. The filling can be made a few days ahead of time and warmed up right before serving. Perfect for a summer get together with friends and family!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

These make for such a delicious and tasty dinner - I didn't have ground chicken so I used pork, and that worked well.
We also did use rice wine vinegar as a substitute.
The flavours in this are great - really balanced. We will be making this again soon, and are looking forward to trying some of your other recipes! Thanks so much!
