These are so delicious and loaded with fresh veggies and lots of flavor!
Lettuce for Lettuce Wraps
Chicken lettuce wraps can be wrapped in any kind of lettuce but the following are my favorites:
Butter Lettuce or Bibb Lettuce: has a great shape and won’t crack when folded but is soft so it can rip if you’re not careful Iceberg Lettuce: fresh, sturdy and crunchy. Can crack if you bend them.
To Prep the Lettuce
Carefully separate the lettuce leaves and rinse and pat dry. Keep them whole, and if you must, slice off any white or hardy ends that won’t wrap well.
Lettuce can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, patted dry and placed in a container or bag with a piece of paper towel.
How to Make Lettuce Wraps (Chicken)
With these lettuce wraps, it’s really all about the sauce! Feel free to add red pepper flakes or Sriracha for some heat!
Sauce
Chicken Filling
To serve, scoop into a section of lettuce leaf and top with chopped peanuts, extra hoisin sauce, peanut dressing, or Sriracha!
What to Serve with Lettuce Wraps
The original PF Chang’s lettuce wraps are served on a bed of deep-fried rice noodles but we put out a huge plate of fresh healthy toppings instead:
cabbage carrots peppers cucumbers cilantro chopped nuts
If the lettuce wraps are part of an entire meal, serve them alongside some slow cooker honey garlic chicken, or wonton soup for something lighter! Or serve alongside our favorite takeout meals below!
