Every time I go to Pf Chang's I order their chicken lettuce wrap appetizer as my main dish. The nutty, savory flavor of the chicken covered in the sauce makes it a recipe I love to copy at home!
A Healthy Dinner or Lunch Prep Option
One of the best parts about making lettuce wraps is that you can prep the meat and then save it for later! It's easy to cook the ground chicken up, make the sauce, and portion it out into containers for lunches. The butter lettuce tears into such nice little bowls to hold the meat and fresh green onions are sprinkled on top.
Lettuce wraps offer a nice carb-free option for dinner that's light and filling. The butter lettuce has a nice, crisp texture that holds up well with the ground chicken mixture wrapped up inside. The recipe makes a good amount of filling so that everyone gets enough to eat.
Let's Talk Filling!
With ground chicken as the base, the sauce is what really makes the lettuce wraps special. The sauce has a combination of different ingredients all adding to the delicious flavor. The ingredients include:
Soy Sauce
Hoisin Sauce
Rice Vinegar
Ginger
Onion
Water Chestnuts
The water chestnuts chopped up and sprinkled throughout the chicken add the perfect amount of crunch. If you haven't already, you should definitely try making your own chicken lettuce wraps!
