Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps image

This is from a great cookbook called "Breast Wishes" which is put together by some ladies from a small town to raise money for breast cancer research! They even test all their recipes before they put them in! Haven't hit a bad one yet! I've even subbed in peanuts for the cashews when I was out - still yummy!

This is a great recipe for meal prep. I make a big batch of the chicken and sauce on the weekend, and then I have lunch for the whole week.

I've never made lettuce wraps before, but this recipe made it easy. I'll definitely be making them again.

This dish is perfect for a summer party. It's light and refreshing, and it can be served at room temperature.

I'm not a big fan of cashews, so I substituted almonds instead. The wraps were still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped vegetables to the wraps, like carrots, celery, and bell peppers.

I love the use of lettuce wraps instead of tortillas. It makes the dish lighter and healthier.

The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but overall this was a good recipe. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll adjust the amount of sugar in the sauce.
