1 Rinse the cabbage leaves thoroughly, dry them well, and trim away any firm ribs or stems so the leaves are easy to fold.

2 Warm 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the bite-size chicken pieces in the skillet, sprinkle them with 0.25 teaspoon salt, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through.

3 While the chicken cooks, combine 5 tablespoons prepared peanut sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1.5 teaspoons lime zest in a small bowl. Whisk until the mixture is evenly blended.

4 Take the skillet off the heat. Pour the peanut sauce mixture over the cooked chicken and stir until every piece is coated.

5 Divide the chicken among the prepared cabbage leaves. Finish each wrap with the julienned Asian pear, julienned English cucumber, and chopped fresh cilantro, then serve.
