Chili's Copycat Asian Lettuce Wraps
This was my favorite menu item at Chili's until they discontinued it. The peanut dipping sauce tastes just like I remember it. Lettuce wraps are a healthy option for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients
- 2 boneless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup Teriyaki marinade (Yoshibas or Lawry's teriyaki w/ pineapple are good options)
- 1 Boston Lettuce ((head of Bib/Boston/Butter lettuce))
- 2 carrots
- 1 bunch radishes
- 1 jicama ((small))
- 1/2 bunch of cilantro
- 1 cup low-fat ginger sesame dressing ((Newman's Own brand))
- 2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter ((heaping Tablespoons))
Steps
-
Marinate the chicken breasts for 20 min in about 1/2 cup of the marinade. Than grill the chicken or saute in oil until cooked through. Set a side.
-
While chicken is still grilling, cut the carrots, jicama and radishes
-
julienne-style (matchstick strips). Note: If I'm in a hurry, I grate the carrots and pulse the radishes in a food processor.
-
Cut off the bottom of the lettuce and separate the leaves; rinse and dry the lettuce (I use a
-
salad spinner).
-
To make a dipping sauce, pour 1 cup of Newman's Own dressing into a container with lid and add 2 heaping Tbsp of peanut butter. Cover and shake well until the consistency is smooth.
-
When the chicken rested for at least 5 minutes, slice it into strips. Than load everything onto a large platter and make it self-serve. To serve, place some chicken and vegetables on a lettuce leaf and add desired amount of peanut sauce.
