Ingredients

100g smooth peanut butter
140g full-fat coconut yogurt or natural yogurt mixed with 2 tbsp desiccated coconut
2 tsp sweet chilli sauce
2 tsp soy sauce
2-3 spring onions , finely shredded
3 cooked skinless chicken breasts , shredded
2 Baby Gem lettuces , big leaves separated
½ cucumber , halved lengthways, seeds scraped out with a teaspoon, cut into matchsticks
toasted sesame seeds , for sprinkling

Steps:

In your smallest pan, gently warm the peanut butter, yogurt, 3 tbsp water, sweet chilli and soy sauce until melted together into a smooth sauce. Set aside and allow to cool.
Mix the spring onions and chicken into the sauce and season. Chill until the party - keep the lettuce leaves and cucumber under damp kitchen paper.
To assemble, add a bundle of cucumber to each lettuce leaf cup, plus a spoon of the chicken mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sit on a big platter for everyone to dig in. Or simply serve a pile of lettuce leaves alongside bowls of chicken and cucumber.
