Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Sweet and Spicy Sauce

You can serve these casual wraps buffet style. Arrange the lettuce leaves on a large platter, spoon the chicken salad in a bowl, and place the sauce in a small bowl on the side. Let people assemble their own wraps since this is one less step for the cook.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 wraps)

Ingredients

• 3  tablespoons  unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts
• 3  tablespoons  hoisin sauce
• 2  tablespoons  cider vinegar
• 2  teaspoons  low-sodium soy sauce
• 1  teaspoon  bottled ground fresh ginger (such as Spice World)
• 1  teaspoon  dark sesame oil
• 1/2  teaspoon  crushed red pepper
• 1/2  teaspoon  bottled minced garlic
• 2  cups  packaged cabbage-and-carrot coleslaw
• 1  cup  canned sliced water chestnuts, drained
• 8  ounces  grilled chicken breast strips (such as Louis Rich)
• 12  Bibb lettuce leaves

Preparation

Place peanuts in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook 3 minutes or until lightly browned, shaking pan frequently. Remove pan from heat; set aside.

Combine hoisin, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, oil, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk.

Combine peanuts, coleslaw, water chestnuts, and chicken in a medium bowl; toss well.

Spoon about 1/3 cup chicken salad in the center of each lettuce leaf; top each with 2 teaspoons sauce. Roll up; secure with a wooden pick.
