This was my favorite menu item at Chili's until they discontinued it. The peanut dipping sauce tastes just like I remember it. Lettuce wraps are a healthy option for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients
2boneless chicken breasts
1/2cupTeriyaki marinade, Yoshibas or Lawry's teriyaki w/ pineapple are good options
1Boston Lettuce, (head of Bib/Boston/Butter lettuce)
2carrots
1bunchradishes
1jicama, (small)
1/2bunch of cilantro
Dipping Sauce Ingredients:
1cuplow-fat ginger sesame dressing, (Newman's Own brand)
2Tbspcreamy peanut butter, (heaping Tablespoons)
Instructions
Marinate the chicken breasts for 20 min in about 1/2 cup of the marinade. Than grill the chicken or saute in oil until cooked through. Set a side.
While chicken is still grilling, cut the carrots, jicama and radishes
julienne-style (matchstick strips). Note: If I'm in a hurry, I grate the carrots and pulse the radishes in a food processor.
Cut off the bottom of the lettuce and separate the leaves; rinse and dry the lettuce (I use a
salad spinner).
To make a dipping sauce, pour 1 cup of Newman's Own dressing into a container with lid and add 2 heaping Tbsp of peanut butter. Cover and shake well until the consistency is smooth.
When the chicken rested for at least 5 minutes, slice it into strips. Than load everything onto a large platter and make it self-serve. To serve, place some chicken and vegetables on a lettuce leaf and add desired amount of peanut sauce.
Enjoy!
Notes
Jicama is a root vegetable that is a cross between an apple and a water chestnut. To me, it tastes like the skins of fresh garden peas. The bib lettuce and jicama are now available at Winco and at FredMeyer.
