Copycat Recipe PF Changs Chicken Lettuce Wraps

LETTUCE INTRODUCE YOU TO A  COPYCAT RECIPE
Chicken Lettuce Wraps and Living Butter Lettuce

Cook's notes: If anyone has ever been to P.F. Chang’s, you know that Chicken Lettuce Wraps are one of their signature meals. So when I found a copycat recipe to make my own version at home it was too good to pass up plus it's a fraction of the price from the restaurant and no doubt healthier.
It was a first for me buying what was advertised living butter lettuce. The living part was a bit scary at first read. Usually the restaurant serves chicken filling in iceberg lettuce but I liked the texture of this lettuce better and it was easier to roll taco style.  
I consulted with my son who was the chief taste tester on the hotness level. I started out with one teaspoon and worked my way up to almost 2 teaspoons.
Not only did the recipe taste quite close to PF Changs but it was put together using one pan and completed in under 30 minutes!  Recipe serves 4 and came from damndelicious.net
