Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps

"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!"

  1. We love this recipe! I've made it a few times, sometimes with lettuce and sometimes with rice. It tastes great either way! Thanks for posting!
     
  2. I added a red pepper and served with rice. Everyone loved it.
     
  3. I enjoyed these, although I don't know if I'll ever get DH to eat another one. :( He doesn't see the purpose of the lettuce wrap, and says 'why not a salad?' LOL Hard to explain. Anyway the flavor of this was great, as was the preparation. We used a bit of extra sauce, for some heat, also. I will be making it again, if only for myself! ;-) Thanks for sharing, Cadillacgirl!

<p>Picture taken just for Zaar - mmmm milkshake...</p> <p>I'm a brand new single mommy to my tiny perfect human, so thank you to everyone who takes the time to make and review my recipes - I try to send a zmail to each of you, but baby girl has a different idea.</p> <p>I'm a good ol' prairie girl from Canada with one side of the family being Ukrainian/Slovakian and the other side is German/Russian. In other words, when we cook we take carbs, cover them in more carbs, fry'em and serve it smothered in onions and cream.&nbsp;<br />No pro chefs in my family, just grandmas and aunts and cousins and a mom that had me pinching perogies and stuffing strudel before I could form a complete sentence. <br />The most dreaded / laughed at phrase I say is, So last night, I invented this thing for supper... - I would probably publish more recipes if I actually remembered everything I put in or had an idea of how much I added!!</p>
