Ground Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Quick and easy Lettuce Wraps make meal time a breeze! My entire family loves Asian dishes and this one is packed with so much flavor. They are perfect served as a main dish but I have also served as an appetizer when making Blackstone Recipes.

Why You’ll Love Ground Chicken Lettuce Wraps

We love going to PF Changes for their lettuce wraps. Now, I can easily make them at home with this simple recipe. Juicy, savory chicken meets a delicious ginger–garlic sauce, spooned into cool, crunchy lettuce cups for a lighter dinner that still feels fun and satisfying.

Making this dish at home allows you to prepare it as you prefer. Change the meat, swap the sauces or make it a bit spicier with the addition of red pepper flakes and sriracha sauce.

Ingredients

• Ground Chicken – Ground beef, ground pork, ground turkey and finely diced chicken breasts can be used in this recipe instead of the ground chicken if preferred.
• Oil – You can use any type of oil with a high smoke point for this recipe. I used avocado oil but olive oil, peanut oil or vegetable oil would work as well. 
• Onion and Red bell pepper – Diced into small pieces
• Water Chestnuts – Drained and Diced
• Minced Garlic – Feel free to use garlic powder
• Butter Lettuce – This makes the best lettuce cups but you can use what you prefer
• Green Onions – Chop into small pieces
• Hoisin Sauce – Needed to add a thick sauce to the ground meat
• Soy Sauce – Coconut Aminos can be used instead of Soy Sauce in this recipe if needed for a gluten-free option.

How to Make Ground Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Step 1 – Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

Step 2 – Preheat a Blackstone grill over medium high heat. Drizzle the oil onto the grill. Once hot, add the ground chicken to the grill. 

Step 3 – Cook the chicken for 3-6 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks until it’s no longer pink and cooked through. Push the chicken to a cooler side of the grill.  

Step 4 – Add the onions, bell pepper and water chestnuts to the grill and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft.  

Step 5 – Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until you can start to smell the garlic.

Step 6 – Add the ground chicken and sauce to the veggies and toss for 1-2 minutes until everything is coated and heated through. Remove the mixture from the grill. 

Step 7 – Spoon onto the butter lettuce leaves. Top with chopped green onions, serve and enjoy. 

Pro Tips

• Prepare Ingredients – This recipe cooks quickly. Prepare all the ingredients and have them close to the Blackstone grill when you start to cook it so that nothing burns. 
• Make Ahead – Feel free to prepare the sauce and the filling mixture ahead of time. This makes the perfect dish to meal prep with.
• Large Skillet – If you prefer to make this indoor, we recommend cooking on a cast iron skillet.

Variations Ideas

• Sauces – Feel to change or substitute with different sauces to what you have on hand. These Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps are delicious with tamari, rice vinegar, or other types of Asian sauce. We have even drizzled Smash Burger Sauce over the top when serving.
• Add Crunch – Right before serving toss in chopped peanuts or slice almonds which adds flavor and crunch.
• Veggie – Add in shredded carrots, bell peppers or slice mushrooms to the chicken mixture for added flavor.

Serving Suggestions

These lettuce wraps are great served with Blackstone Fried Rice Recipe. I like to enjoy these lettuce as they are made, but you can also just serve the filling over white rice.

This filling also makes a great addition to Stir Fry Vegetables.
