PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps - BEST Copycat!
Description
This dish begins with cooking ground chicken until browned, then adding aromatic garlic and diced onions. The meat is flavored with a blend of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, fresh ginger, sesame oil, and sugar, creating a well-rounded savory base with hints of sweetness and zest.
Water chestnuts contribute a crisp texture contrast to the tender chicken, and green onions add peppery freshness. The mixture is seasoned with salt and black pepper and can include optional sriracha for heat. The filling is served spooned into fresh butter lettuce leaves, providing a light and refreshing vessel.
The wraps make a flavorful appetizer or light main course, combining savory, sweet, and tangy elements with a variety of textures. They can be customized by omitting or substituting ingredients such as ginger, sesame oil, sriracha, or using ground turkey instead of chicken.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 white onion finely diced
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon ginger freshly grated
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon sriracha Optional
- 8 oz. water chestnuts drained and diced, whole
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 butter lettuce head
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, crumbling as you do so. (About 5 minutes.)
- Stir in the garlic, onions, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, sesame oil, sugar, and Sriracha. Stir occasionally and cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the chestnuts and sliced green onions, salt and pepper and heat for an additional minute.
- Spoon 3-4 Tablespoons into the center of each lettuce leaf and enjoy!
Notes
- If ginger, sesame oil, sriracha, or water chestnuts are not available or desired, the recipe remains tasty without them.
- Ground turkey can be substituted for ground chicken for a different protein option.
