P.F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps {Copycat Recipe} — Skip the restaurant version and make lettuce wraps at home in 20 minutes!! EASY, healthier because you’re controlling the ingredients, and they TASTE WAY BETTER!!

Copycat P.F. Chang’s Lettuce Wraps

I don’t go to P.F. Chang’s that often, but when I do someone in my group or family will order their chicken lettuce wraps because they’re just so good. Now you can skip the restaurant version and make your own in 20 minutes. And I promise you this homemade version tastes better.

We inhaled these ground chicken lettuce wraps, and then my daughter asked if I could make a double-batch the next day. So I did.

These Asian lettuce wraps are super easy and healthier because you’re controlling all the ingredients. There are so many layers of flavor from the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and green onions. The chili garlic sauce adds a perfect amount of heat that we enjoyed but if you’re sensitive to spices you can always reduce the amount.

In case you’re concerned, I found all the ingredients in the Asian section of my regular grocery store. They all play their own role to add authenticity to the recipe and I recommend using them all.

Olive oil

Sesame oil

Ground chicken

Here’s a video showing you how to make copycat P.F. Chang’s Lettuce Wraps!

How to Make P.F. Chang’s Lettuce Wraps

Add the ground chicken and oils to a skillet and continually crumble the meat while it cooks. Next, add in the onion, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and chili garlic sauce. Cook until the onion is soft and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Add the remaining ingredients to the pan and taste to see if you’d like to make any flavor adjustments.

Spoon the mixture into lettuce cups and enjoy!

Can I Use Ground Turkey Instead of Ground Chicken?

Yes, I’ve made this copycat P.F. Chang’s lettuce wraps recipe using both ground chicken and ground turkey and both were excellent. You can also use ground beef in case you want another option. Or try my P.F. Chang’s Mongolian Beef (Copycat Recipe).

What’s the Best Lettuce for Wraps?

I prefer using butter lettuce leaves when making ground chicken lettuce wraps as they’re more flexible than iceberg lettuce or romaine and hold much more filling.

Tips for Making P.F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I prefer using low-sodium soy sauce in this copycat P.F. Chang’s lettuce wraps recipe because I like to control the amount of salt that goes into my food. I’m sure you could also use a soy sauce alternative like tamari or coconut aminos, but I haven’t tried either myself so I can’t say for sure.

If you have a busy week ahead of you, make a big batch of the chicken filling and freeze some for later. It reheats incredibly well!

You’re welcome to garnish your homemade P.F. Chang’s chicken lettuce wraps however you see fit. Peanuts and chopped green onions would both be delicious.
