Arrange 4-8 lettuce leaves on 4 plates and cut the rest into strips. Cut the chicken breasts into thin slices.
For the lemon dressing, mix 3 tbsp of lemon juice with salt, pepper and 1/2 tsp of sugar. Mix in 2-3 tbsp of oil and toss the lettuce strips, scallion, carrot and cucumber with the lemon dressing. Serve the salad in the lettuce leaves with the chicken slices, topped with peanut sauce and garnished with the chopped peanuts.
