    Why You are going to love these chicken lettuce wraps

    These little PF Chang copy cat chicken lettuce wraps are packed with flavor and crunchy vegetables. We love the addition of chopped water chestnuts but it is not required. The dipping sauce is super addictive and you are going to want to make extra as our family loves to slather this on everything.

    The weekend is finally here and fun finger food is on the menu!  In Asia we enjoy little appetizers such as dim sum but this can be very labor intensive. So over the course of this weekend, I will highlight a couple of very yummy and easy Asian Small Bites that can be made in 30 minutes or less. Less time in the kitchen and more time for autumn fun. In addition, these Lettuce Wraps are great little nibbles for tailgating at football games.

    Chicken lettuce wraps

    Have you ever eaten at a PF Chang's restaurant? Here is my version of their tasty chicken lettuce wraps. PF Chang's is definitely not a traditional Chinese restaurant by any means. However it is a fun and tasty alternative in the States when you have a craving for some inexpensive Asian fusion foods in a fun atmosphere.

        Joanne thanks. If I don't take my portion out before I bringing it to the table it is gone- inhaled. Growing teenage boys eat so much! I am always in Healthy World Cuisine.
