A Healthier Version of PF Chang’s Asian Lettuce Wraps

February 13, 2019 by Erin Porter Leave a Comment

Happy Valentines Day!  I wish I could take credit for this healthier version of PF Chang ‘s Asians lettuce wraps but it’s a combination of my friend Paula’s twist where she combined two different recipes she found, along with some of my own additions to pump up the nutrition in the recipe (you know I have to put chia seeds in everything so this recipe is no different)!

This recipe is neither Phase 1 or Phase 2 due to a few ingredients like rice wine vinegar, soy sauce (which you could substitute with coconut amino acids to keep it soy free), and the hoisin sauce which you can also find soy and gluten free.  This recipe is perfect for entertaining.  The flavors are so vibrant and delicious yet it has some many healthy ingredients including garlic, ginger, chicken breast, lettuce, cilantro, water chestnuts, chia and sunflower seeds.   Enjoy!

About Me

I have been fortunate enough to have been featured on national Television including PBS American Health Journal and Know the Cause, God TV, Christian Television Network and more. If you have any chronic disease that has not responded to traditional medicine there is often one cause that is often overlooked. This was the case for me and until I found my "cause" I would stay sick for decades. I am interested in sharing information on how to heal not only physically but emotionally as well. I have a degree in photography and besides my passion for photographing food, my other loves are my family, writing, helping others, and creating new healthy recipes. All of which gets to be played out by having EPGW. I am blessed to be living out my purpose! continue →
