I love these! I made them and portioned out the chicken into the servings and froze it. I thawed and ate them for lunch every day for a week and still think I could eat more. YUM!

My family LOVED my version of this recipe. Basically the same thing just omit the cherries. Yes, I'm one of those. Sorry. We are not cherry fans. We go to a local place here called Pei Wei for lettuce wraps. These are so much better!! My family requested these for our New Years Day dinner. Oh - I was out of almonds so we use sunflower seeds (it's what I had)....and ....oh, water chestnuts added a nice a crunch. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! It's now one of our favorites.

These are really good, did use dried cherries. Used romaine, will probably make again sometime with different lettuce.

One of my family's favorite recipes! We have this at least once or twice a month - sometimes more! The kids love helping on this one - the 2 year old loves to pull the stems off the cherries while the 8 yr old shreds the carrots :) We use Romaine lettuce since it creates more of a sturdy scoop to hold the mix without fear of it falling to pieces. I also use Agave Nectar instead of honey, love the taste of Agave Nectar! I also have some people that don't eat chicken, so I made the mix, and before adding the chicken I put some aside and served that with shredded Salmon. (Doing this though you'll have to make more of the cherry mixture.) I didn't mix it with the fish before serving, that would make the fish soggy. Even our little 8 year old veggitarian who hates eating dinner LOVED this dish with the salmon.

Loved the ginger in this recipe. The only reason I can think of to omit the cherries is if they are out of season. There really do make the recipe delicious.

These were nice and fresh, but they were missing something. I made them according to the recipe, but then after tasting them added the juice of 1/2 a lime. That really tied all the flavors together. Also, the sauce didn't really stay on the chicken. Next time we will probably let the chicken sit in the sauce longer - maybe for an hour - before serving. But I love the cherries!
