- 1 cup Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Cucumber, thinly sliced into matchsticks
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 8 pieces Romaine lettuce leaves
- 3 tablespoons Smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Water

Instructions
In a small bowl, prepare the ginger-peanut sauce by whisking together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency with a little more water if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, carrots, red bell pepper, cucumber, and cilantro.
Pour the prepared ginger-peanut sauce over the chicken and vegetables and toss until evenly coated.
Lay out the romaine lettuce leaves on a clean surface. Spoon the chicken salad mixture evenly onto the center of each lettuce leaf.
Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top of the filling for garnish, if using.
Gently fold the sides of the lettuce leaves over the filling to create wraps. Serve immediately or secure with a toothpick for easier handling.
