serves: 2
  P.F.Chang’s Lettuce Wraps – I am telling you – salty, greasy, PERFECT. If you’ve ever had them, I bet you’ll agree. But sometimes they can be a little too greasy, know what I mean?
Ingredients:
  1 LB   GROUND CHICKEN BREAST
  1/2   MEDIUM ONION
    SALT AND PEPPER
  2   GARLIC CLOVES, MINCED
    GINGER
  1 tbsp   soy sauce
  1/2 tbsp   peanut butter
  1/2 tbsp   water
  1/2 TBSP   HONEY
  2 tsp   chili garlic sauce
  3   green onions chopped
  1/2   80z can of water chestnuts, drained and chopped
  1/4 CUP   Peanuts
  12   larger outer lettuce leaves
  1 tbsp   sesame oil
Directions:
  1. Heat a large, non-stick skillet on high. Add chicken, onion, salt & pepper, and cook until chicken is nearly done, stirring often to break up the meat. Add in minced garlic and ginger, and continue cooking until chicken is no longer pink.



2. Meanwhile, in a microwave safe bowl, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, water, peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce and pepper. Microwave for 20 seconds, then stir until smooth. Add into the skillet and stir to combine.



3 Add green onion and water chestnuts into the skillet then cook for 1-2 minutes until the onions are soft and the water chestnuts are heated through.



4. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts, and serve with cold lettuce leaves


The water chestnuts in the mixture are a total must, in my opinion. They add a fabulous crispness and texture to the filling, that you wouldn’t get by just using ground chicken alone. You have to make these!
