Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Recipe #363601 | 25 min | 20 min prep | add private note

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!

Fantastic!! These are simple to make and really tasty. I had a little trouble trying to roll these, lol, so I served the leftovers over rice. This recipe is going into my 2009 favorites cookbook! Thanks Cadillacgirl for a great new keeper. Made for Fall PAC 2009.
