Chicken Satay Lettuce Wraps

It's been awhile but found some pictures to add some recipes. This recipe I found on "Proceed with Caution" and made a long time ago. They were pretty good! I have a bunch of lettuce wrap recipes and this one looked the easiest so I decided to start with it, and it was VERY easy!

Chicken Satay Lettuce Wraps


boneless skinless chicken breast
thinly sliced lengthwise to total about 1 pound
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 cloves garlic,
grated salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

For the sauce:1/4 cup (natural) peanut butter
2 tablespoons rice vinegar

For the wraps:Leaves of romaine lettuce
carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
cucumber, cut into matchsticks


Directions:
1. In a bowl, toss chicken with sesame oil, soy sauce, cilantro, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Thread each chicken strip lengthwise onto a skewer.

2. Make dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, and 2 to 3 tablespoons water.

3. Heat grill pan over high. Working in batches, brush pan with oil, and cook chicken until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes per side
.4. Spread sauce in leaf of lettuce, add carrots and cucumber, then chicken. Enjoy!
