PF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps

These PF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps are inspired by the Chinese-American restaurant, PF Chang’s. I love the flavor of these chicken wraps and the chicken filling goes so well with crispy and soft butter lettuce!

This is a low carb recipe and easy for quick dinners! The chicken can be substituted with your favorite ground meat as well. Don’t forget the chestnuts in the filling for that extra crunch.
