CASHEW CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS

Cashew Chicken Lettuce Wraps image

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!
