Oh, appetizers. Aren’t they the best? If you’re like us, you easily get in ruts of bringing the same handful of appetizers to parties, until suddenly none of them sound good anymore. We love nothing more than jalapeño popper dip and spinach artichoke dip. They are seriously delicious! But how many times can we possibly show up with them over and over again? Chicken lettuce wraps were mostly forgotten in our social circle, and we brought them back to life with this amazing recipe, even better than the original we all remember from P.F. Chang’s. Liven up your appetizer game with this crowd pleaser!
Spice Level:
The Asian chili garlic sauce in this recipe gives it a nice warmth. If you are particularly spice sensitive you can always omit this ingredient. Alternatively, you can increase the heat by adding red pepper flakes.
Is Better Than P.F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps gluten free?
As written, this recipe is not entirely gluten free. However, it can easily be made gluten free by making a couple of simple substitutions. Hoisin sauce and soy sauce naturally contain gluten, so you will want to substitute for a specialty gluten-free hoisin sauce and use liquid aminos in place of the soy sauce. Additionally, rice vinegar is a bit of a controversial ingredient in the gluten-free community. In tests, vinegar proves to remain under the threshold to be considered gluten-free, but some people do still react to the gluten in vinegars. Use this ingredient with caution if you are unsure how your body reacts to vinegars.
Can I make this vegetarian?
You absolutely can! Simply substitute the chicken with your favorite plant-based chicken alternative to make this recipe vegetarian.
Serving Suggestions:
You can serve these as-is for an appetizer, or with a side of rice or noodles for a full meal!
