In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the SideDish Creamy Sesame. Cook, tossing, until the chicken is well coated.
To serve, stack 2 lettuce leaves together (this will make your wrap sturdier) then fill lettuce wraps with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the prepared rice at the bottom. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the sesame chicken over the rice then top with the cucumbers, cilantro, and sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. Drizzle with additional SideDish Creamy Sesame and serve with lime wedges.
