Lettuce Wraps
While I love PF Chang’s lettuce wraps, they have nothing on these Thai lettuce wraps. Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps recipe is so easy to make and satisfying.
Made with ground chicken, cashew nuts and served with Thai sweet chili sauce, every bite is so lip-smackingly good that you just can’t stop eating.

Loved this recipe, great to share over a few drinks. The only thing I did different was to chop the cashew nuts. Thanks for a beautiful recipe, was so glad I couldn’t find my old one, always nice to try a new recipe especially when it’s this nice.
