Instructions

They're quick enough for busy weeknights, light enough for warm summer evenings, and fun enough to serve at backyard dinners. Add your favorite fresh herbs, drizzle on plenty of peanut sauce, and dig in.

    Drain any excess fat.

  2.  Add the shallot, garlic, and ginger. Stir in the remaining ingredients and cook until well combined. Fold in your favorite fresh herbs.

  3.  Whisk together the peanut sauce ingredients until smooth.

  4. Fill each lettuce leaf with the chicken mixture, drizzle with peanut sauce, and serve immediately.
