Good to Eat - Chicken Lettuce Wraps With Peanut Sauce

On Sunday I was having so much fun making flowers while Eric was whipping up chicken lettuce wraps that I slacked on taking photos (sorry!). I still have to share this recipe because it is insanely healthy and delicious.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Marinade for chicken - Italian dressing OR BBQ sauce
• 2 carrots, julienned
• 1 cucumber, julienned
• 1 red onion, julienned
• 1 red pepper, julienned
• *Any other veggies you like
• 1 head Bibb lettuce leaves
• 1 packet of Thai Kitchen rice noodles
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 3 Tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
• Dash of chili sauce 
• 3 Tablespoons of water
• 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

PEANUT SAUCE:
To create the peanut sauce (my fav) in a small bowl mix the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, lemon and chili sauce. Stir in water until mixture is smooth and thick. 

DIRECTIONS:

In a zip lock bag marinate the chicken breasts. Let sit for up to 2 hours. We did two marinades one with Italian dressing and the other with a BBQ sauce. 

Grill chicken over medium heat until cooked through. When finished cut the chicken into strips.

You can prep this part before - clean the lettuce and then julienne the cucumber, carrot, onion and red pepper so it is in skinny slices. All of these can be prepared and placed on a separate plate. 

At the same time boil water and cook the Thai Kitchen rice noodles. 

Serve a plate with the chicken strips and then have a separate plate with the lettuce and toppings such as the cucumber, carrot, onions, red pepper so everyone can make their own.

I promise you will LOVE this! You can tell this is Eric's lettuce wrap because of all the onions.
