cold asian chicken salad recipe needed - quickly

Hey fellow chowhounds- Help

I have lost an old favorite recipe for a cold chicken salad that had a peanut sauce, finely chopped peanuts, finely shredded lettuce and a few other ingredients.

I want to serve this for the holidays, but when I went to the cookbook, that page was never put back!

I first had this in a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco and spent two years getting a recipe that was close.

Any help, suggestions, ideas etc, would be helpful.

Thanks,
Gardencub.

    Robin Miller has a recipe for Chicken Salad with Peanut-Lime Vinaigrette.
