Ingredients:  
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 heads butter lettuce
1/2 lb. snow peas
3 TB soy glaze
1 1-inch piece of ginger
1 cup cooked rice
2 carrots
1 TB smooth peanut butter spread
1 TB rice vinegar
1 tsp. sweet paprika
1/2 tsp. dried orange peel
1/2 tsp. poppy seeds
1/2 tsp. white sesame seeds
1/2 tsp. black sesame seeds
Directions:
Directions:
Cut snow peas in halve crosswise. Peel (with a spoon) and finely chop the ginger. Cut off and discard the root ends of the lettuce and separate the leaves. Peel the carrots, then grate on the large side of a box grater.

In a bowl, combine the carrots, half the vinegar, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk together soy glaze, peanut butter, remaining vinegar, and 1 TB of water.

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and the spices. In a large nonstick pan, heat 2 tsp. of olive oil on medium high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken. Cook 6-7 minutes per side or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits in the pan, transfer to a cutting board.

To the pan, add the peas and chopped ginger. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Cut the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Serve the lettuce leaves, chicken, cooked rice, peas, sauce, and marinated carrots separately. Assemble each cup using 2 lettuce leaves.
