Chinese Chicken Lettuce Cups

Here is my copycat version of PF Chang's lettuce wraps. 

I knew I could make them on my own and I did!

I pretty much died and went to heaven when I first tasted this dish.

Died and went to heaven.

Then came back.

Every single person in my family {two year old included} loved these Chinese Chicken Lettuce Cups.  Can I talk about the flavor for a moment?  It's like the best Chinese dish you've ever had rolled up into a healthy lettuce wrap.

So basically it felt like I was indulging a LOT, but really I wasn't that much.  They are sweet, salty, tangy, yet suitable enough for any palate.  I may have belly rolled over in laughter watching my 5 year old daughter trying to eat one...but she asked for a second so, consider them sold.

This year I have been brought on as a Veetee Brand Ambassador and these Chinese Chicken Lettuce Cups are my first creation using their easy-peasy ready to eat rice {stay tuned for two more great recipes!}.

There are a few things I loved about this dish.

1.  It's quick.

2.  It's super flavorful.

3.  It's fun.

Did I mention it's quick?  Start to finish I had these done in less than 15 minutes.  The ground chicken cooks up super quick with the veggies, you pour on the marinade, heat up the rice and add it all to a nice crisp leaf of lettuce.

Roll it up and eat.

Of course any rice can be used, but the Veetee rice option is time friendly {cooks in 2 minutes} with great quality.  Coming in a variety of flavors; long grain white rice, red beans and rice, brown rice, chicken, quinoa and rice, Spanish style and so many more, I'm super excited to have a few of these options now in my cupboard.

You can find your favorite variety at Walmart or Amazon or see a full listing HERE.

Besides loving the flavor and easiness of this dish, I also loved that the leftovers heated up awesome. We had leftover meat, rice, sauce and lettuce, so this easily became lunch for me the following day. It reheated like a champ and tasted just like dinner the night prior.

I'd love to see you guys make these! Be sure to tag me on socials (@sweetsavoryeats) sharing your photo and I'll be sure to share. 

This meal (or appetizer) is full of flavor, lots of protein and is a great one to prep for the week for busy work lunches.

Have fun with it!
