A quick and easy copycat recipe for PF Chang’s crispy chicken lettuce wraps featuring lean ground chicken, a savory-sweet sauce, and fresh crisp lettuce for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken breast
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup water chestnuts, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced thinly
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 head iceberg or butter lettuce, leaves separated and washed
  • Optional garnishes: chopped cilantro, extra green onions, sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the onion, garlic, ginger, water chestnuts, and green onions. Separate and rinse the lettuce leaves, then pat them dry.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha (if using), and brown sugar until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  4. Add the ground chicken, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring often until fully cooked and starting to brown.
  5. Stir in the chopped water chestnuts and green onions, cooking for another 2 minutes.
  6. Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture. Stir well to coat and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. The chicken should be juicy and coated with a slightly sticky sauce.
  8. Spoon the chicken mixture into the lettuce leaves, garnish with extra green onions, cilantro, or sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to achieve crispy chicken texture; cook in batches if necessary. Use fresh ginger and garlic for best flavor. Avoid drowning the filling in sauce; aim for a glossy coating. Dry lettuce leaves well to prevent sogginess. Ground turkey can be substituted for chicken. For gluten-free, use tamari and gluten-free hoisin sauce.
