This copycat recipe for PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps delivers a flavorful and healthy appetizer or light meal. Ground chicken is stir-fried with garlic, onions, and a zesty blend of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and fresh ginger, then combined with crunchy water chestnuts and green onions. Served in crisp butter lettuce cups, these wraps offer a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors in every bite.

Ingredients

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 white onion, finely diced
  • 8 oz. whole water chestnuts, drained and diced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 head butter lettuce

Sauces and Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add aromatics and sauce: Stir in the minced garlic, diced onions, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, freshly grated ginger, sesame oil, sugar, and optional Sriracha. Cook while stirring occasionally until the onions become soft and translucent, approximately 2 minutes.
  3. Incorporate water chestnuts and green onions: Mix in the drained and diced water chestnuts and sliced green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat everything together for an additional minute to warm through.
  4. Serve in lettuce cups: Spoon about 3 to 4 tablespoons of the warm chicken mixture into the center of each butter lettuce leaf. Fold the lettuce around the filling and enjoy immediately for a crunchy, flavorful wrap.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or pork as alternative proteins if desired.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground chicken with finely chopped mushrooms or plant-based meat alternatives.
  • Adjust Sriracha quantity to control spiciness or omit for mild flavor.
  • Butter lettuce works best for wraps due to its soft yet sturdy leaves, but iceberg lettuce can be used as a substitute.
  • Serve with extra hoisin sauce or soy sauce on the side for dipping.
