Peanut Chicken Radicchio Cups with Crispy Wontons

Radicchio leaves make the ideal handheld cups for this make-your-own dinner. We like to play around with texture and fill ours with steamed Jasmine rice, avocado, and our new favourite crunchy garnish: crispy wontons! This dish makes the perfect quick and feel-good weeknight dinner but is also a fantastic option for an interactive meal when entertaining.
