I will never forget the first time I ate P.F. Chang’s Lettuce Wraps. They were sooooo amazing, and that sauce you get to mix up yourself and adjust the heat on to put on them was mind blowing. And frankly I liked them way more than I liked whatever it was I ordered to eat that night.
I love lettuce wraps. And I crave them constantly. But I live like 30 minutes away from the closest P.F. Chang’s, and well it would be unseemly if I ordered them daily. Right? So I decided to figure out how to make my own that taste as good (maybe better, but I don’t want to brag).
And once I realized how totally easy it is to make them I kicked myself for not trying to make my own earlier, I probably could have paid off my house or bought a Maserati or something with all the take-out I could have saved on. Slight exaggeration, but you get the point.
They are delicious. Here are all the reasons you should be making theseChicken Lettuce Wraps:
- Easy- I mean the goal of this site is to only give you Eazy Peazy recipes, but these really are. The biggest pain is just chopping up the chicken.
- Delicious- They taste awesome, if they did not I would not share them, so I mean I guess you could have assumed that. But you guys, they are copycat. And they are delish!
- Better than the restaurant- Ok, I did not want to say it, but I am saying it. These lettuce wraps may even be better than what you get at the restaurant.
- Perfect appetizer or Meal: Maybe my favorite thing! You can eat them as an appetizer, OR just skip the meal and make them the whole meal. You will want to eat so many of them it will feel like a meal anyway.

Could this be made with boneless, skinless chicken thighs?

Rachael says
For sure, chicken thighs take longer to cook, so just be sure to cook to 165 degrees so it is cooked through. Thanks.
