THAI CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather all of your ingredients, wash the vegetables, shred and cut the carrots, cucumber and chicken.
• Combine all ingredients for the sauce except the water. Whisk until smooth. Use the water to thin the sauce to desired consistency.
• Turn the grill to 400°F and heat it through while preparing the sauce and chicken.
• Add the chicken breast strips to a bowl and mix together with a ½ cup of the prepared peanut sauce and 2 tsp of kosher salt.
• Grill the chicken strips on each side for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through in the middle. Then, remove to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm until ready to serve.
• Arrange all the ingredients on a large platter, then pour the sauce into a dish and place it in the middle. Pour a little bit of the peanut sauce on top of the chicken and sprinkle with the chopped peanuts. The Thai Lettuce Wraps can be pre-wrapped by adding a little bit of each ingredient to a butter lettuce leaf and then wrapping it into a roll, or each guest can create their own wrap.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Combine the tamari, oil, lime juice, ginger and chiles in a medium bowl. Add the chicken to the bowl and coat it in the marinade. Marinate for about 1 hour at room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the marinade, and discard the remaining marinade.
• Place the chicken on a baking sheet and roast until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, 20 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven and rest it for 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, shred the meat.
• For the wrap: In a separate bowl, combine the cabbage, peanuts, lime juice and basil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Lay out 1 lettuce leaf, place one-quarter of the shredded chicken, then 1/2 cup cabbage salad in the leaf. Repeat for the remaining lettuce and filling. Fold the wraps and enjoy.
