P.F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps are delicious. I don’t want to toot my own horn here but these are a lot better than P.F. Chang’s version. These are really easy chicken lettuce wraps to make. I used standard ground chicken to make these and was blown away how juicy the chicken turned out. Not only are they better and more healthy than the P.F. Changs version, but they are a whole lot more wallet-friendly.
P.F. Chicken Lettuce Wraps Instant Pot. Healthy and Delicious.
Actually this lettuce wraps recipe is simple to make and it is healthy. I am using ground chicken in this recipe. Ground chicken is lean and healthy and high protein. I imagine that you really could use ground turkey as well but I have not tried this recipe with ground turkey.

These are amazing!!!!! Thank you!!!
An incredibly easy and delicious recipe for lettuce wraps. Hoisin sauce gives these ground chicken lettuce wraps lots of flavor and the rice and water chestnuts adds texture. Get a whole head of lettuce ready because you re not going to want to stop eating these chicken lettuce wraps!
Wondering what these would be like using ground turkey??
Well I would give it a try if you like ground turkey. I’m sure they would be pretty tasty
THANKS for responding ……… I’ll let you know how they turn out. I just have some ground turkey in the freezer I’d like to use up 🙂
Im curious how it turns out with ground turkey. Please let me know.

Great! Perfect on a hot summer night. Flavorful, comes together quickly with no mess. I will be making this again!
Im really happy that you like it. I make then all the time myself.

These were beyond delicious! The easiest for me was to do all the prep first, chopping. sauce, dipping sauce and they went together so easily. Our butter lettuce leaves were little, and our attempts failed, and we laughed at ourselves hysterically before making itty bitty “tacos” and finishing with our forks. A definite keeper.
I glad you like them. They are really tasty.
Super yum! Will definitely be making these again! My kids loved them too!
I am so glad you loved them. Thanks for leaving a comment and the kind words.
Matty.
I can’t wait to get what I need to make these. Sounds right up my alley other then watching the salt.
Love Mattys recipes.
I am glad that you like our recipes 🙂
Can the left over filling be frozen? They look delish but I am on my own!
Sure…But also it is good for 3 to 4 days in the fridge. I live alone as well and never freeze this as there is never any leftovers :
