Crunchy peanut lettuce wraps

 Every try something at a resteraunt and think "oh these would be really easy to make at home" well that is exactly how these delicious wraps came about

(don't want to read the boring stuff? click here for the recipe!)







I'm not going to say they are exactly or anything like the lettuce wraps we had at OJ's but my creation is just as good I promise! (and likely less calories!) I don't know what those crunchy noodles they use in the wraps are, but chow mein noodles seem to be a great stand-in and I managed to get a huge bag of them for $2 - I can't wait to add them to salads and anything else that could benefit from a little crunch! EDIT: I just checked the site and it was chowmein noodles! huzzah! I'm a genius!

Crunch crunch!

Once combined add in the smooth peanut butter, add water to thin out mixture if desired. In a skillet brown chicken then add onion, cook for 2-3mins until chicken is cooked through. Combine peanut butter mixture, chicken mixture, broccoli slaw, peanuts, and chow mein noodles and stir until combined. Serve on romaine lettuce leaves.

If you are planning on serving this later dont add the chow mein noodles until right before serving because they will go soggy in the sauce and you won't have the delicious crunch
