For the Peanut Sauce

1. 3 tbsp. Crazy Richard's Almond Butter
2. 1/4 cup full fat, unsweetened Coconut Milk
3. 1 tbsp. coconut aminos
4. 1 clove garlic
5. 1 tbsp. red boat fish sauce
6. 1 tbsp. lime juice
7. 1/2 tsp. red curry paste

For the Spring Rolls

1. 6 large leaves of collard greens
2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3. 1/2 jalapeno, sliced very thinly (after you slice, pop out the seeds using your fingers)
4. 1/2 avocado, sliced thin
5. 1 cup mung beansprouts
6. 1 cup shredded carrots
7. 1/2 cucumber, cut into ~2.5 inch strips
8. 1/4 red onion, sliced thinly
9. 6-8 leaves of basil, torn into smaller pieces
10. 6-8 leaves of mint, torn into smaller pieces

To shred the chicken and make the sauce

1. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, drop in the chicken breasts and add in some salt to the water. Let poach in the water until just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from saucepan and set aside until cooled. When cooled enough to handle, using your hands shred the chicken. Set aside.
2. Place all of the "For the 'Peanut' Sauce" ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Set Aside.

To prepare the Collard Greens

1. Cut large end off the stem and then shave the top of the remaining stem.
2. Place collard greens one at a time into boiling water for 30 seconds.
3. Immediately plunge the hot collard into a bowl of ice water or place under running cool sink water to stop the cooking process. Then, set on top of paper towels to soak up the water.

To make the Spring Rolls

1. Toss the shredded chicken and 1 tbsp. of the peanut sauce together until chicken is coated. Reserve the remaining peanut sauce for dipping.
2. In the center of each collard green, place a few sliced jalapenos, avocado, bean sprouts, cucumber, carrots, shredded chicken, sliced onion, and some mint and basil. (do not overstuff or it will be hard to roll). Now, gently roll your spring roll like a burrito.
3. Continue until each spring roll is prepared.
4. Serve with remaining 'peanut' sauce and enjoy!!
