P.F. Chang’s Lettuce Wraps {Copycat Recipe} — 💚😋 Skip the restaurant version and make chicken lettuce wraps at home in 20 minutes!! So EASY and they TASTE WAY BETTER!!

Easy Copycat P.F. Chang’s Lettuce Wraps

This recipe for lettuce wraps from P.F. Chang’s was originally published in 2017 and since then has become a reader favorite. I’ve updated some photos and am resharing it because they are just THAT good! 

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.

There are so many layers of flavor from the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and green onions!

“Best lettuce wraps I ever tasted and so easy. I now make a double batch since I can’t keep them in the house. A must try if you enjoy lettuce wraps.” — Debbie

Ingredients for Copycat P.F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps

To make these P.F. Chang’s copycat lettuce wraps, you’ll need:

• Olive oil
• Sesame oil
• Ground chicken – ground turkey may also be used
• Yellow onion
• Hoisin sauce
• Soy sauce – I prefer low sodium soy sauce
• Rice wine vinegar
• Garlic
• Ground ginger
• Green onions
• Chili garlic sauce
• Water chestnuts
• Lettuce

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.

Note: Scroll down to the recipe card section of the post for the ingredients with amounts included and for more complete directions.

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

These chicken lettuce wraps are a cinch to make, and even easier to devour! Here’s a look at how the lettuce wraps are made:

1. Add the ground chicken and oils to a skillet and continually crumble the meat while it cooks.
2. 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.
3. Add the remaining ingredients to the pan and taste to see if you’d like to make any flavor adjustments. 
4. Spoon the mixture into lettuce cups and enjoy! 

“Last night I made the PF Chang’s Lettuce Wraps recipe and the first comment out of my husband’s mouth when he took his first bite was, “This tastes just like PF Chang’s!” I agree. The recipe came out perfect! Can’t wait to try all the other copy cat recipes!!” — Diane Daniels
