Tasty Tuesday

Sorry I missed Memory Monday yesterday...I just don't know what happened to Monday! It flew by and I just couldn't find the time.  Here it is 10:30 PM and I am finally finding time to post for Tasty Tuesday! :)  (Better late then never, right!?!)  This recipe also comes from the Pampered Chef's cookbook, 29 Minutes to Dinner.  I love this one...simple and great on hot days! (Can you tell I am hoping for summer!)

Thai Basil Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Peanut Sauce

2 tbsp dry-roasted peanuts

1 tbsp chopped fresh basil

1/4 cup poppy seed dressing

2 tsp Asian Seasoning Mix

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp water

Salad

1 small cucumber

1/2 medium red bell pepper

1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken

4 large Boston or bibb lettuce leaves

Additional chopped peanuts and basil (optional)

1. For sauce, chop peanuts and basil. Combine peanuts, basil, dressing, seasoning mix, vinegar and water in a small bowl and set aside.

2. For salad, peel cucumber, slice into julienne strips, avoiding seeds. Slice bell pepper into thin strips. Shred chicken; toss with half of the sauce. Set remaining sauce aside for dipping.

3. To serve, divide cucumber among lettuce leaves. Spoon chicken mixture over cucumber. Top with bell pepper. Garnish wraps with additional peanuts and basil, if desired. Serve with remaining peanut sauce.

Yield: 2 servings

ENJOY!
