Copycat Chicken Lettuce Wraps (P.F. Chang’s style)

Weeknight-friendly Chinese cooking: Copycat Chicken Lettuce Wraps (P.F. Chang’s style) comes together in 25 minutes with ground chicken breast, water chestnuts, and not much else. At 320 calories and 34g protein per serving, it fits easily into a high-protein day. Naturally high-protein and gluten-free, it scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground chicken breast
• 8 oz Water chestnuts
• 4 oz Shiitake mushrooms
• 1 head Butter lettuce
• 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Hoisin sauce
• 1 tsp Sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Fresh ginger
• 3 Green onions

Steps

1. Chill the lettuce leaves and pat them completely dry — wet leaves slide apart and ruin the wrap.
2. Sear the ground chicken in a ripping-hot wok and leave it alone for 2 full minutes; the crust that forms is where the flavor comes from.
3. Break the chicken into fine pebbles, then add the mushrooms, ginger, and water chestnuts and stir-fry 2 minutes.
4. Pour in the soy sauce, hoisin, and rice vinegar and let it bubble down until glossy and clinging, about 2 minutes.
5. Kill the heat and stir in the sesame oil and green onions so their flavor stays fresh instead of cooked flat.
6. Spoon the hot filling into the cold leaves and eat immediately, one hand, over the plate — drips are part of the deal.
