A quick and easy recipe for crispy chicken lettuce wraps inspired by PF Chang’s, featuring a savory-sweet sauce and fresh crunchy veggies wrapped in iceberg lettuce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken (preferably lean, 85% lean works too)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (can substitute with avocado oil)
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup water chestnuts, diced
  • 2 green onions, sliced thin
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, leaves separated
  • Optional: chopped cilantro or toasted sesame seeds for topping

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the ground chicken with cornstarch until fully coated. Set aside for 5 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
  3. Dice the water chestnuts and slice the green onions thinly. Set aside.
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering (about 2-3 minutes).
  5. Add the coated chicken, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Add a splash of water if chicken starts sticking.
  6. Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to combine. Toss in the diced water chestnuts and half the green onions. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  7. Rinse and pat dry the iceberg lettuce leaves. Arrange on a serving platter.
  8. Spoon the chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf. Garnish with remaining green onions and optional toasted sesame seeds or cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce and check hoisin sauce for gluten content. To add extra crunch, toast sesame seeds before garnishing. Avoid high heat to prevent burning the sauce. Cook chicken in batches if doubling recipe to maintain crispiness. Store chicken filling and lettuce separately if saving leftovers.
