Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before slicing thinly.
Julienne the carrots, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin strips.
To prepare the almond butter dipping sauce, whisk together almond butter, coconut aminos, lime juice, garlic powder, ginger powder, and water until smooth. Adjust consistency with more water if needed.
Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip each rice paper sheet into the water for 5-10 seconds until it starts to soften. Lay on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
Place a lettuce leaf in the center of the rice paper sheet. Add a few slices of chicken, a small handful of julienned vegetables, and some fresh mint and cilantro leaves.
Fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to close.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Serve the fresh rice paper rolls with the almond butter dipping sauce on the side.
