- 1 cup Shredded carrots

- 0.25 cup Chopped peanuts
- 3 tablespoons Sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce

Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep them crisp.
Finely mince the garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the red bell pepper and green onions. Set all aside.
Cut the chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger. This will serve as the stir-fry sauce.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of sesame oil.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Pour the stir-fry sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well to coat. Let it simmer for a minute, then remove from heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce, rice vinegar, Sriracha sauce, cornstarch, and water to create the dipping sauce. Heat the mixture in a small saucepan over low heat until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
Arrange the lettuce leaves on a large serving platter.
Spoon a portion of the cooked chicken mixture onto each lettuce leaf.
Top with shredded carrots, bean sprouts, sliced red bell pepper, green onions, and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts.
Serve with the prepared dipping sauce on the side for drizzling or dipping.
Encourage guests to fold the lettuce wraps like tacos and enjoy!
