P.F. Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps {Copycat Recipe}
Description
The P.F. Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps {Copycat Recipe} features ground chicken sautéed with onions, garlic, ginger, and a savory blend of hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and chili garlic sauce. Water chestnuts add a pleasant crunch and contrast to the tender cooked meat. The filling is cooked until most of the liquid is absorbed and the flavors meld well, with seasoning of salt and pepper to finish. Served spooned into fresh butter lettuce leaves, the dish provides a light yet flavorful option that works well as an appetizer or light meal.
This dish has a subtle balance of sweet, savory, and a slight spicy kick from the chili garlic sauce, complemented by the aromatic garlic and ginger. The water chestnuts maintain their crunchiness, offering textural variety alongside the tender chicken and softened onions. The skillet cooking allows the meat to cook evenly and the sauce to thicken slightly for a cohesive filling.
The wraps can be enjoyed as a finger food or with utensils, and the crisp lettuce leaves provide a fresh, cool counterpart to the warm filling. Adjusting the chili garlic sauce amount personalizes the heat level. The filling can be prepared in advance and stored refrigerated for up to five days, making it convenient for meal prep or quick assembly.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low-sodium
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Chili garlic sauce or to taste (sriracha may be substituted, Asian

Instructions
- To a large skillet, add the oils, chicken, and cook over medium-high heat until chicken is cooked through; stir intermittently to crumbly while cooking.
- Add the onion, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, chili garlic sauce, stir to combine, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until onion is soft and translucent and most of the liquid has been absorbed; stir intermittently.
- Add the garlic, ginger, stir to combine, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add the water chestnuts, green onions, salt and pepper to taste, and cook for about 2 minutes, or until tender. Taste filling and make any necessary flavor adjustments, i.e. more soy sauce, hoisin, pepper, etc.

Notes
- Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Adjust the chili garlic sauce amount to control the spiciness of the filling.
- Butter lettuce works well for wrapping due to its pliability and tender texture.
