These easy Asian chicken lettuce wraps are a version of PF Chang’s chicken lettuce wraps, but homemade and healthier! Watch the video below to see how I make this in my kitchen.

Ingredients
Sauce
- 5 tablespoons Tamari soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
- 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Lettuce Wraps
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- ½ large onion diced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 (8-ounce) can water chestnuts (whole or sliced) drained and diced
- 3 green onions sliced
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 head butter lettuce leaves removed and washed
- optional: mung bean sprouts
Instructions
- Make the sauce. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, almond butter, molasses, vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Cook the chicken. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan on medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, making sure to break up the chicken with a spatula as it cooks.
- Add the aromatics. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the chicken and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer, or until the onion starts to become translucent.
- Add the sauce. Pour the sauce on top of the chicken and stir until well combined. Add the water chestnuts and green onions, then stir everything together. Season with black pepper.
- To serve. Place a large spoonful of chicken mixture onto a butter lettuce leaf. If you'd like, you can top with mung bean sprouts for added crunch.
Notes
- Storage Tips
- More Tips
- To store for the week: Store the minced meat and lettuce leaves in separate containers. They will last for 3 to 4 days in the fridge.
- To freeze for later: You can freeze the minced meat for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Then, just let it thaw overnight in the fridge when ready to enjoy and reheat in the microwave.
- You can use dark or light meat for the chicken. Both taste wonderful.
- If you can't find butter lettuce, you could also use romaine, iceberg or any other lettuce leaves.
- Make sure to read my post on the differences between tamari, soy sauce and coconut aminos. And I use this brand of low sodium, organic tamari.
