Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps are super easy to make and taste better than the popular PF Chang's version. This healthy recipe packs a huge punch of flavor!
Every time we go out for Asian or Thai, I always check to see if they have some sort of lettuce wrap. They are so delicious, and for the most part healthy as long as they don't add too much oil (which is common at restaurants). I love making these Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps at home because they are easy, delicious, and the whole family loves them!
With only 264 calories and 22 grams of protein per serving (scroll down for nutritional info), this is a dish you can feel good about eating! These Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps use only one pot or skillet to cook the filling, then just a small bowl to mix the sauce. If you wanted to coat the entire dish with the sauce, you could even add it to the skillet and omit the extra bowl. I like having the option to drizzle more sauce over the top of the Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps.
How to make Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps:
**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**
- Make the sauce and set aside.
- Make the filling: In a large high sided skillet cook the ground chicken. Add the vegetables and continue cooking. Add the lime and a bit of the sauce.
- Serve using bib or romaine lettuce leaves. Add the ground chicken mixture, then the toppings and sauce. Enjoy
These Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps only take about 30 minutes from start to finish, and the majority of that hands on time is going to be prepping your vegetables.
PRO TIP: A great option would be to prep everything over the weekend, and then all you have to do is throw it into the skillet when you are ready to eat it during the week!
This is a great recipe for your weekly meal plan because it's easy, delicious, and takes little time to make.
Serve these delicious lettuce wraps with Copycat PF Chang’s Spicy Green Beans, Sautéed Kale (easy healthy recipe), or Asian Glazed Brussels Sprouts for the perfect meal! A side of Hot & Sour Soup would also be delicious!

- You can add all the sauce to the skillet if you don't want to drizzle it over the top. If you have picky eaters you may want to leave it all on the side!
