Simply the best asian wraps I've ever eaten including PF Changs. These Asian Lettuce Chicken wraps are an absolute dream! Lots of veggies, chicken, crunchy peanuts and a sauce to die for! Better yet, it freezes beautifully. | happymoneysaver.com

If I had to choose one recipe to eat weekly for the rest of my life, this one would be it, hands downs. This Asian lettuce chicken wraps recipe is that good, my friends. Forget P.F. Changs – and I don’t use those words lightly. The ‘Chang used to be my holy grail of lettuce wraps until I met heaven wrapped in romaine. The rainbow of veggies mixed with tender chicken and all combined in a dreamy sauce is the stuff that fairy tales are made of. Even better, this recipe freezes beautifully, so double it up and freeze half for a quick weeknight meal!

Meet the perfect Asian lettuce chicken wraps recipe.

Because the dinner hour is usually super crazy, I try and chop my veggies and throw the sauce ingredients together sometime in the morning and store them in my fridge. Once that’s done you can have dinner together in a snap. As in, less than 20 minutes, snap.

Also, every time I make this Asian lettuce chicken wraps recipe I have to have a moment of silence once all of my veggies are chopped and staring at me from my cutting board. The reds! The greens! The purple! The orange! Why Michelangelo or Rembrandt or Monet never used chopped veggies on a cutting board for their subject matter I’ll never know. So, do this girl a favor and bask in the glory of your cut veggies. Amen.

This recipe works well with either cooked, diced chicken breasts or cooked ground chicken. My local grocery store only carries dark meat ground chicken, and while it’s still tasty, I prefer the taste of the breasts. Don’t worry about that last statement. These are absolutely divine with chopped peanuts included, but because we have a peanut allergy in our house, I choose to omit them.

    I just happened upon this website yesterday and am always looking for easy meals. I am getting brave and plan on trying the cooking one full day for a month but wanted to try some of the recipes first.

    This one is ABOVE AMAZING!!! The flavors, colors, textures, everything about it is outstanding (ps I’m a VERY picky eater). It is difficult to find meals that everyone in our household likes but this was a hit with my hubby, our 18-month old toddler and myself. Keeping this in the top of my recipe folder and planning on making it this weekend for some church members. THANK YOU THANK YOU for sharing this recipe, wish I could give it more than a 5 star 🙂
