Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Tangy Peanut Sauce

Tangy peanut sauce is so good. It is one thing that Ethan loves at Thai restaurants, so I knew he would love this. This recipe could not be any easier and is perfect for a weeknight meal with plenty of leftovers for a fabulous lunch. The peanut sauce can be stored in an air-tight container in your refrigerator up to a week and you can put it on anything you want. I love it will grilled skewers of meat or even topped on a grilled chicken sandwich.

First, make the peanut sauce.

In a quart jar, combine the peanut butter, lime juice, fish sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, honey and water. Seal the jar and shake well.
