About eight years ago I dined at a P.F. Chang's for the first time. It might seem weird that I remember this, but it was my first day at a new job in a new city in a new state so kind of hard to forget. It was also the first (and only) time I had the pleasure of trying their famous "Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps". I remember them tasting good, but it's hard to say if I thought that because I was starving and only tried one tiny portion or if I thought they were good because well, they were actually good.
In an effort to recreate what I thought were delicious chicken lettuce wraps, I decided to give them a shot for dinner a couple evenings ago. I used the recipe from the Official Wildtree website and made just a couple changes/additions for some added oomph. The wraps were a little difficult to eat, but tasted good nonetheless. I went with iceberg lettuce, but may look into a more "sturdy" lettuce next time. Romaine might be a good choice for an added dose of B-vitamins and fiber.
