Gluten-Free Asian-Inspired Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe

If you have ever eaten at PF Chang’s, you have probably tried the chicken lettuce wraps — and yes, they do have a gluten-free menu and you can order these gluten-free. If you don’t live near a PF Chang’s, don’t fret — you can make your own. It’s so easy to make this Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe! There is a lot of chopping to do, but you could easily do this ahead of time. Other that that, you just need some gluten-free sauces. I adapted some recipes I found and used my favorite San-J sauces (which I always have stocked in my pantry), to make this recipe gluten-free. I use a combination of sauces, but you could use just a teriyaki sauce or any other sauce you like.

This was a huge crowd-pleaser in my family! They gave me all sorts of compliments, which is really what I’m after when I try a new meal! 🙂

I like to serve sauteed green beans and Coconut Rice with this dish.
