Obviously, I'm in the minority here, but this was just "OK" for me. I followed the recipe exactly, except for using dried cherries in place of the dark sweet cherries. It was just too sweet for my taste. I might try it again using water chesnuts as the previous reviewer did. That would reduce the sweetness.

This was excellent. I omitted the cherries and added chopped water chestnuts. It was just as good for left overs the next day. Watch out PF Changs!

This is wonderful! I have used craisins or dried cherries (since fresh cherries aren't available too often where I live) and sunflower kernels instead of the almonds. I also topped the wrap with shredded cabbage/carrot cole slaw mix. This has become regular meal in our home. Thanks!!

I followed this recipe to the letter and to my surprise, it was pretty good. Normally I don't like fruit with meat, but you couldn't tell there were cherries in the mixture. My daughter and I ate our wrapped in tortillas and thought it tasted OK, my husband had the lettuce and thought it was pretty good. It tasted really good on crackers with a little Parmesan cheese.

Tried this recipe on my family who have never had lettuce wraps and they loved them. I will definetly make again but to be honest, they were not as good as PF Changs. It smelt wonderful while cooking but the flavor was too mild for me. Needs something extra. Overall still good!!!

This is nice but SOOO much better a day or two later - perfect picnic food. With more chopping than cooking, it's a good pick for a novice cook. Use soft flexible lettuce (butter lettuce is great) that won't tear as much - and whatever you do, stay away from iceberg.

These were REALLY GOOD! Very easy too. Like many others, I tweaked the recipe a bit. I cut the chicken into tiny bits (like PF Changs) and didn't use quite the amount of carrots and a little more green onion. I had some frozen cherries that I had picked in the spring but added some dried cranberries too. I liked the idea of Romaine, because of its ability to hold a lot without being wimpy. Great recipe!
