LetUsRap- Asian Lettuce Wraps

this is my man's absolute favorite :) It is quite tasty, if I must say so myself :)

Serves 4

What you will need for the wraps:
3-4, cooked chicken breasts (about 4 oz for each person)
1, head of butter leaf lettuce- thoroughly wash leaves  & carefully pat dry, trying not to damage leaves
1, bag each (or mixed) shredded red cabbage and shredded carrots ( you can buy already shredded bags or shred 2 carrots and about 1 cup of red cabbage)
1, small cucumber- diced
1, small red onion- diced
1/8 C Rice Wine Vinegar
1 tsp honey
pinch of salt
1, handful of peanuts

Wrap Instructions:
place rice wine vinegar, honey, cucumber, onion and pinch of salt in small bowl, mix and place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Place your cooked chicken breast and peanuts in your food processor and shred away.

What you will need for the peanut sauce:
4, TBSP smooth peanut butter- If you use organic like I do, you may need to microwave for 10 sec)
4, TBSP low sodium Tamari ( you can use low sodium soy sauce)
1, clove minced garlic
pinch of red pepper flakes

Sauce Instructions:
mix all ingredients together in a small bowl until 'silky smooth'.

Serving Instructions:
place your shredded chicken in a medium bowl in the center of a tray then place cabbage & carrots, peanut sauce and cucumber/onion mixture in smaller bowls around the chicken. Don't forget your lettuce!

How to build the wrap:
take a leaf, fill it with a little of everything and drizzle with peanut sauce... roll (or fold in half)... eat... delicious!

I prepare a side of steamed brown rice or quinoa to add to the wraps too.

This meal is so delicious, simple to prepare and clean up :)
