Everyone Needs to Make These
You’re going to love these Copycat PF Changs Lettuce Wraps. They can be easily gluten-free modified (with the right gluten-free sauce products) and are packed with veggies. I think that’s one of the hardest parts for me, getting enough veggies into my diet!
We snuck some mushrooms and water chestnuts into the chicken mixture just like the real recipe has! And, of course, the base is made from ground chicken to get all that protein in. I mean, 21g of protein per serving?. Yeehaw.
PF Changs Lettuce Wraps Sauce
I’d love to talk more about the sauce for these epic lettuce wraps because it’s so delicious and so easy to make at home! Here’s what you need:
hoisin sauce: hoisin is sweet and flavorful. It’s not gluten-free, but you can find a few different gluten-free hoisin sauces out there, so keep an eye open if you’re gluten-free!
freshly grated ginger: ginger is a great way to add a zippy flavor to any Asian sauce! If you don’t have fresh ginger, you can always sub for a little ground ginger or our new favorite ginger squeeze product!
soy sauce: It wouldn’t be a lettuce wrap recipe without a little bit of soy sauce. If you’re gluten-free, feel free to sub for tamari.
minced garlic: don’t skimp on the garlic! That is all.
rice vinegar: A little rice vinegar goes a long way. I’m a firm believer that vinegar of any kind should be added to most sauces because it brings out the other flavors of the sauce.
All of these ingredients are easily available at most grocery stores. So? Next time you’re craving your favorite PF Changs Chicken Lettuce Wraps, make them at home instead!

LOVE these!
Absolute best recipe! I go back to this one time and time again and it never fails. As a great back up when I can’t think of anything else to make.
★★★★★
So enjoyed this! And easy to make!
★★★★★
Going to try this recipe today, but with chicken breasts instead of ground chicken! Can’t wait!!
You’re webpage is garbage. Enough with the damn ads. I can even print it out without it being 3 pages, ads covered up important info. I get it. This is how you make money, get a real job or do selective tasteful ads. This might as well be a porn site

Loved it! The sauce is the bomb and makes the dish. My wife and I make these with a coconut rice and have them for dinner.
★★★★★
I LOVE these! These have been my “go-to” for the past couple years when I can’t decide what to prep and bring for lunches in the office. Super easy and yummy!
Glad you love them!! I haven’t made them in so long <3
So how can you tell when the chicken is “coked”? LOL! I am trying this recipe tonight! Looks delicious!
LOL. You’ve never had coked chicken?
Hi do you have the link for your previous recipe? My family liked the old recipe better
I used to use this recipe all the time. I haven’t used it in a few months, and I noticed that you’ve modified it. Wasn’t there a second round of sauce making in the first recipe? The meal comes out so flavorful with that second sauce round. Also, I could have sworn there was teriyaki sauce in it before. Any way you could send me the old version, I loved it!
Sorry, Didn’t mean to write this twice. Second sauce round??
Hi,
I used to use this recipe before you updated it, and haven’t used it in a while. Weren’t there two instances where you made and added the sauce in the old recipe? It was so flavorful with the double sauce, I was wondering if you could let me know how it used to be done. Thanks a lot!
Hi Gen! We actually didn’t change this recipe very much at all. Tweaked it a tad and updated the photos.
Great recipe. I love different types of simple Asian food. Just got back from SE Asia, esp. Thailand and actually took some quick cooking classes. A whole new world of spices and sauces opened up to me. On this recipe, how do you incorporate the rice you mention? As a side, incorporated into the filling, on top, etc… I suppose ‘anything goes’.
★★★★★
Hey Jim! I would either serve it inside of the wraps, or serve it on the side! Anything does go 😀
Is this recipe supposed to be gluten free. You call for Gluten Free soy sauce but I didn’t think hoisen sauce was gluten free?
Hey Jamie! There are brands of hoisen that are gluten free. I revised the recipe so that it doesn’t say it’s gluten free, rather it’s easily gluten free modifiable!
This recipe was amazing! I’m normally disappointed by copycat recipes but this was spot on! I’m seriously so impressed.
I added 1/2 cup of water chestnuts and topped with matchstick carrots, chopped green onions, and 1/2 cup of crunchy noodles. I highly recommend it 🙂
★★★★★
<3 Love the chestnut addition!!!!
You are literally endangering people who have celiac disease by claiming these sauces are gluten free. PLEASE update the recipe for accuracy.
★
I completely agree with you Alex~

My daughter was recently diagnosed with celiac disease. She loves lettuce wraps so I search gluten free lettuce wraps and come across this. Do all the shopping and check the ingredients just to be sure when u say these sauces are gluten free u didn’t miss something. Sure enough, there’s gluten 🙁 and there goes dinner as my daughter is severely intolerant. recipe looks great.. I’ll have to shop again tomorrow 🙁
I had to laugh at your comment on things people say in Minnesota. I grew up in southern California but I’ve lived here for 38 years. I still get upset when I hear someone say, “Can you borrow me that?” LOAN, people, it’s LOAN! LOL!! I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say, “com-mear once” though. I’ll have to start paying attention to that. Can’t wait to try your recipe.
OMG! These chicken lettuce wraps ARE Amazing! I will definitely make again.
YAY! So glad you loved them, Karen!
May be healthy for nutrition info you have tracked; but, what about salt/sodium content. . . ?
I’m so excited to try these tonight. I’m actually going to whip up a batch to take to a friend of mine who just had a baby…and, of course, a batch for my family. What do you do with the basil? Put it in whole? Or do you chop it?
Ahhh that is SO NICE OF YOU! Nothing better than the gift of food 🙂 You can do either or. I prefer it chopped!
