Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps
It takes time to perfect a recipe to call your own. The first time I had Chinese Chicken Lettuce Wraps was at P.F. Chang’s. If you ever had them before, you would agree that they’re amazing, but you will find my chicken wraps a little better and lighter. I removed the sesame oil and water chestnuts and added some of my own ingredients that will surely satisfy.

Honey,
This was awesome! Thanks goes to Andy for his photography skills.
WOW, I love those things! I could live off of them, or would like to try.
Thanks for the recipe!

Christie,
Thank you so much for commenting. I love these wraps a lot and my husband can probably eat them everyday as well.
The green bowl looks more nutritious than the lettuce. Why not use Romaine or some other lettuce with some food value.
It’s a preference and you can use whatever green leaf you like.
