Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

This is an easy and impressive appetizer or light meal. Sometimes, to make things easier, I will buy pre-cooked or grilled chicken that you can find in the meat section of your market. The peanut sauce can be found in the international section, often called satay or panang peanut sauce. It can be quite spicy. Use pepper flakes to taste.
