Peanut Chicken Lettuce Cups

This was one of the first recipes that I came up with. This dish is what led me to think that I should start sharing my recipes!

This dish is light but filling. It’s got a nice crunch and the flavors are poppin! It is best with bib lettuce, but you can use any type of lettuce wrap you prefer.
