PF Changs Chicken is a popular dish found at many Asian-inspired restaurants. It is a flavorful, protein-packed dish that is easy to make at home. Ground chicken is seasoned with garlic, hoisin sauce, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ground ginger, and cornstarch, which combine to create a tangy and savory flavor. Bibb lettuce leaves are used in place of traditional high-carb wraps, bringing freshness and crunch to the dish. The addition of mushrooms increases the dish's fiber content and overall nutritional value.

Instructions

1.Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
2.Add chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they have browned, stirring occasionally (about 5 minutes).
3.Add the ground chicken, minced garlic, and half of the chopped basil to the skillet. Cook the chicken through, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks (about 7-10 minutes).
4.While the chicken is cooking, whisk together hoisin sauce, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ground ginger, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Set the mixture aside.
5.Once the chicken is cooked through, pour the sauce mixture over the skillet. Add sriracha sauce or chili-garlic sauce to the skillet if desired.
6.Stir the chicken mixture until all ingredients are well combined, and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes.
7.Remove from heat and serve the chicken in a bowl, with bibb lettuce cups and sliced green onions on the side.
