Teriyaki Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe

When I first tried P.F. Chang’s chicken lettuce wraps, I was instantly smitten. Understandably so, as they’ve got some of the best Asian recipes. Just thinking about the delicious crunch with each bite already has my stomach grumbling. Why, lettuce wraps are one of the best P.F. Chang’s menu items that truly satisfy the crowd! For the longest time, I made frequent and countless visits to the infamous Asian restaurant just to get a taste of their flavorful Asian lettuce wraps. And at some point, I knew I just had to recreate a version of their nutritious and meal prep-friendly dish. Maybe a version, dare I say, that tastes better than the original (I wish)!

Much like P.F. Chang’s lettuce wraps recipe, my version is also made with three delicious components: a flavorful sauce, tasty filling, and lettuce cups. Asian chicken lettuce wraps usually call for hoisin sauce and soy sauce. But my affection for sweet-savory sauces runs strong and deep. So, I settled for Soy Vay Veri Veri teriyaki sauce and even combined it with honey. And by adding a dash of cornstarch, I got myself a deliciously thick sauce for my easy lettuce wraps! For added flavor and a bit of crunch, I also used garlic, red bell peppers, and water chestnuts.

I’m a bit of a spicy-holic myself, so there were times when I’d go for chili sauce or red curry paste. But if you have a penchant for tangy condiments, then, by all means, add a bit of rice vinegar. Thai peanut sauce, meanwhile, is yet another delicious option to make your lettuce wraps next-level.

Another great thing about lettuce wraps is you can put just about anything between the crunchy lettuce leaves! This dish can easily be made vegetarian by using tofu filling. Trust me, tofu lettuce wraps are EXTREMELY DELICIOUS! Rice noodles, ground pork, and steak make for excellent choices as well, in my opinion. Ground turkey lettuce wraps are also worth adding to your arsenal of favorite lettuce wraps recipes. But for this recipe, in particular, I went for the classic chicken filling and used diced chicken breasts.

Now, you might be wondering what’s the best lettuce for lettuce wraps. You have lots of options, actually, including butter lettuce, Boston bib lettuce, and iceberg lettuce. If lettuce is out of the question, you can even use cabbage leaves instead. That’s how customizable lettuce wraps are! I opted for Romaine lettuce leaves in my healthy chicken lettuce wraps recipe. They’re nutritious and deliciously crispy!

Ever since I discovered how to make lettuce wraps at home, I haven’t had to stop by P.F. Chang’s near me that serves the best lettuce wraps. Not to brag, but my teriyaki chicken lettuce wraps recipe bursts with Asian flavors that it’ll seem as if you’re dining in P.F. Chang’s. For a complete Chinese-inspired dinner, I and the rest of the fam enjoyed lettuce wraps with Chinese stir fry vegetables.
