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.
And the best part? You can also make these lettuce wraps with my Thai Basil Chicken recipe!

- Ground Chicken
