P.F. Chang’s has a great gluten-free menu section, full of options. One thing that I love which I can’t get gluten-free from these restaurants is the lettuce wraps that they make. All it really needs is a small tweak and you can make it at home easily and paleo-friendly.
Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of these since I just wanted to eat them so badly. I’ll make them again and post the picture soon.

- 1 can (8 ounce size) sliced water chestnuts, drained, finely chopped
- 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced

- Cook and stir until the chicken is browned and crumbled.
- Add the water chestnuts and green onions.
