When I was living out in California, I worked at a Seafood restaurant called Gladstone’s, which I highly recommend if you ever make it to Long Beach, CA. Gladstone’s was located on the pier right next door to PF Chang’s, and after our shifts wrapped up, the crew and I practically had a routine – at least twice a week, we’d hustle over to PF Chang’s for some serious grub and maybe a drink or two. And without fail, guess what I’d always order? The chicken lettuce wraps. I’d scarf them down like there was no tomorrow, and it wasn’t even uncommon for me to polish off another round solo. They were just that good. So it was a no brainer that I had to perfect the chicken (or you could do ground turkey) lettuce wrap recipe over the years.
Nowadays, this easy chicken lettuce wrap recipe has become a cornerstone in our household. Jamie and the boys are just as obsessed with it as I am, and the best part? It’s ridiculously easy to whip up.
I hope you and your crew dig into this knock-off recipe with as much love as we do! Trust me, it’s a winner that’ll have everyone coming back for seconds. Cheers to good food and good times with loved ones!
