PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps (Recipe 52 of 125)

Whenever Blueberry and I go to PF Changs we order the Chicken Lettuce Wraps for an appetizer and them immediately regret it because we're too full for our main meal. 

I've made copycat recipes before of PF Chang Lettuce Wraps. This one was particularly good as I recall. 

But any time I see a "copycat" recipe I gotta try it. Tonight I made this for Blueberry and I.  For 5 minutes we said nothing. The only sounds coming out of us were "mmmmm" and "OMG Sooo good". 

Make this recipe. If you like lettuce wraps, this is a recipe for you. 

PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Recipe from Damndelicious.net

Serves 4
**NO way this only serves 4. I doubled the recipe and we have enough each for one more meal. If you are only doing this as an appetizer, maybe. But if it's YOUR main meal, no way it feeds 4...more like 2.

• 1 T olive oil
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, diced
• 1/4 c hoisin sauce
• 2 T soy sauce
• 1 T rice wine vinegar
• 1 T freshly grated ginger
• 1 T Sriracha, optional
• 1 (8-ounce) can whole water chestnuts, drained and diced
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 head butter lettuce

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Add ground chicken and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the chicken as it cooks; drain excess fat.

Stir in garlic, onion, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger and Sriracha until onions have become translucent, about 1-2 minutes.

Stir in chestnuts and green onions until tender, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf, taco-style.
