Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 1 lb ground chicken (or ground turkey)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1/2 cup water chestnuts, drained and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced (plus more for garnish)
- 1/4 cup carrots, shredded (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Serving:
- 1 head of butter lettuce (or iceberg lettuce), leaves separated and washed

Instructions:
- Cook the Chicken:
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Sauté the Vegetables:
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet with the chicken and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- Stir in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and is well combined with the chicken, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the Water Chestnuts and Carrots:
- Stir in the finely chopped water chestnuts, green onions, and shredded carrots (if using). Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Lettuce Wraps:
- Carefully spoon the chicken mixture into the center of each lettuce leaf, creating a small “cup” for the filling.
- Serve:
- Garnish with extra green onions and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Copycat P.F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps!
