PF Changs Chicken Lettuce Wraps

P.F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe Makeover – a Lower Carb Option!

March 5, 2021

These healthy Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a makeover recipe and taste just like P.F. Chang's version that we all know and love but are healthy and can be made at home! Ready in just 15 minutes for an easy dinner and perfect for meal prep.

For these wraps, I used butter lettuce, but other types of lettuce also work well, including iceberg, green and red leaf, and Boston lettuce. Crispy lettuce always wins in my house because I like the added texture and crunch.

Yes, these have a similar flavor profile to the P.F. Chang's chicken lettuce wraps but are better for you. After lots of recipe testing, the sauce and flavors are definitely close to their version we all love. Not surprisingly, I also squeezed in some extra veggies as well to pack in some extra nutrition.
