Bake-Off® Contest 40, 2002
This is a great, light meal for casual get-togethers. Place the lettuce-lined platter of the cooked vegetables, noodles and chicken, along with the bowl of peanut sauce, on the table. Everyone can make his or her own Asian wraps.

   1 (1-pound) package frozen lo mein noodles, stir fry vegetables and flavorful stir-fry sauce meal starter
   2 tablespoons purchased chili-garlic sauces
   2 tablespoons soy sauce
   3 tablespoons oil
   2 cloves garlic, minced
   1 tablespoon sugar
   2 tablespoons peanut butter
   2 tablespoons water
   8 large leaves Bibb lettuce
   1 1/2 cups grated carrots
   1/3 cup chopped peanuts
   1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
   2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro, if desired

To flatten each chicken breast half, place, boned side up, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Working from center, gently pound chicken with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick; remove wrap.

In small bowl, combine frozen sauce from meal starter, chili-garlic sauce and soy sauce; mix well. In medium bowl, combine chicken, 1/4 cup soy sauce mixture and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken; cook 5 to 6 minutes or until no longer pink in center, stirring occasionally. Remove chicken from skillet; cut into I-inch pieces. Cover to keep warm.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add 3 tablespoons soy sauce mixture, garlic, and frozen noodles and vegetables from meal starter; cook 6 to 8 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring frequently. To remaining soy sauce mixture in small bowl, add sugar, peanut butter and water; mix well.

Arrange lettuce on part of large serving platter. Spoon carrots on platter next to lettuce. Arrange cooked vegetables and noodles on platter. Place chicken over vegetables and noodles. Sprinkle chicken with peanuts, onions and cilantro.

To serve, spread peanut sauce in center of each lettuce leaf. Top with chicken-noodle-vegetable mixture and carrots. Wrap lettuce around filling.
