Easy Chicken Lettuce Wraps live up to their name – easy! They are also delicious and make the perfect quick, weeknight meal everyone will love.
There are two things I love about these chicken lettuce wraps. First, it is so easy! It comes together super quick thanks to the use of broccoli slaw. The slaw and the almonds also give the dish great texture and crunch. The second thing I love is the flavor. I used the teriyaki sauce from Trader Joes but you can use your favorite. Many lettuce wrap recipes I come across have a list of ingredients a mile long. This one doesn’t, so it is perfect for those nights when you need dinner, quick, easy and delicious!
One of my favorite restaurants is PF Changs and of course my favorite thing on the menu is their famous Lettuce Wraps. I love playing around with copycat recipes and, although it doesn’t taste just like the ones at PF Chang’s, they are delicious.
LA Notes: The original recipe called for ground turkey but I prefer ground chicken so I used that. This recipe uses a bag of broccoli slaw which can be found in the produce section with all the bagged salad. It is yummy and there is no chopping! I have used both iceberg lettuce and butter lettuce and prefer the butter lettuce, it is a softer lettuce and doesn’t “crack” as easily as the iceberg and is less messy.
When you need a quick, easy and healthy dinner give this one a try.

One of my favorite recipes of all time. I make it at least two or three times a month. So easy and yummy! I agree that butter lettuce is the way to go. I love spicy hot stuff, so I add a little Sambal Oelek Ground Fresh Chili Paste on each wrap. Gives it a little kick when you’re looking for something spicy Thanks for the recipe!
Traci, I’m so glad you love the recipe too – sounds like a great addition!
I needed a leftover turkey recipe and even though this called for ground turkey I tried it with leftover turkey diced little–it was fantastic! The two of us ate almost the whole batch!
Jayna, Glad it was a hit at your house!
My favorite things to order at PF Changs are the Honey Chicken and the Mongolian Beef – I am so boring – I order the same things everytime I go! I like their Potstickers too. I may be tempted to try the Shrimp you recommended though next time I go – step out of my comfort zone a bit!! I know my sweet husband would love the shrimp!
Thanks Rachel!
My mom-in-law tried these last night… FABULOUS! It is a definite keeper!
What are some of your other favorite things from P.F.Changs? The last time I was there I tried a shrimp dish that was SOOOOO good. It is the sweet one with Honey-dew. It is called “Shrimp with Candied Walnuts.” Even someone who doesn’t normally like seafood would like this one! TRY it next time if you haven’t yet!
We will definitely try this recipe! PF Changs lettuce wraps are Josh’s favorite on the menu, too. Quick, nutritious, tasty meals are MY favorite! This sounds like a winner. Thanks for sharing!
