Start by marinating the chicken breasts. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, and garlic powder. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Julienne the carrot and cucumber into thin strips. Tear the romaine lettuce leaves into halves. Set aside.
Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
Thinly slice the cooked chicken breasts into strips.
Prepare a large shallow dish or bowl with warm water. Dip a single rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5 seconds, or until it becomes pliable but not overly soft.
Lay the softened rice paper on a clean, flat surface. Place a half lettuce leaf, a few strips of chicken, a few julienned carrot and cucumber pieces, 1 mint leaf, and a small amount of cilantro on top of the rice paper.
Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it tightly. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and ingredients.
Serve the rolls with hoisin sauce for dipping and sprinkle some chopped peanuts on top of the sauce if desired.
