Recreate PF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps at home with this quick and easy recipe! It has ground chicken, crunchy water chestnuts, and a delicious savory sauce.
Originally published June 24, 2010. Updated August 11, 2024.
My 13 year old and I are obsessed with these chicken lettuce wraps right now. I make this recipe probably once a month or so but I feel like I’m making it every few days right now.
It takes about 20 minutes, it’s mostly pantry ingredients, and it tastes just like the PF Chang’s version for a fraction of the price!
(Why IS PF Chang’s so expensive?!)
I have a kid that’s pretty anti-veggie so I always make him a batch of rice to go with it so keep that in mind if you have picky eaters.
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- Sesame oil
- Ground chicken – you can also use ground turkey.
- Onion
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Water chestnuts
- Hoisin
- Soy sauce – I recommend a low-sodium soy sauce so you can control how salty the dish it.
- Rice wine vinegar
- Sriracha – adjust the measurement to your taste.
- Green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Leafy lettuce – I used butter lettuce but any leafy lettuce will work.
How To Make PF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps
- Cook chicken mixture. Cook chicken and onion in oil until chicken is cooked through. Add garlic, ginger, and water chestnuts.
- Add sauce. Add hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and sriracha. Let simmer until thickened.
- Serve. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with lettuce.
How Long Is It Good For?
The chicken mixture of these lettuce wraps will be good for up to 3 days. Make sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Can You Freeze It?
You can freeze leftovers (or double the recipe for a really easy dinner later!) for up to 3 months. I would probably wait to add the green onions and sesame seeds though.
Let the chicken mixture cool completely and then place it in a freezer ziploc bag. When you are ready to serve it, let it defrost overnight and reheat it on the stovetop on low heat. You will probably need to add water or chicken broth to get it back to loosen the sauce up a bit.

How well does the meat reheat for a work lunch?
amanda says
I thought it reheated very well! Since it’s turkey, it doesn’t get that weird gelatinous texture in the fridge that beef does. :)

I love lettuce wraps, and these look fantastic! The ingredient list sounds pretty much perfect. Cilantro is one of my favorite ingredients, but I never thought to put it in lettuce wraps. Yum!
Eliana says

We love lettuce wraps at our house. I love the texture and crunch of the lettuce. The cilantro and green onion are the flavors I enjoy in every bite!
