Most likely it's because the skin will be tough and the flesh will be soft after cooking, so when you bite into them, there'll be crispy batter then soft flesh, but you can't bite through the skin without giving it a yank, which will make it just not quite so attractive to eat and may even make a mess.

What she said. I made some stuffed peppers once where I had to broil them briefly.

I made some really good lettuce wraps the other night. I have to get going, but I will post my ingredients later.

Okay, here is what I used:

- 1.5 lbs of chicken breast chopped up in little cubes
- 1 onion chopped up
- 1 red bell pepper chopped up
- 1/2 cup crushed tamari almonds
- 3 cloves of garlic chopped up finely
- some olive oil
- some roasted sesame oil
- some soy sauce
- some white wine vinegar
- some fish sauce (this I think was the profound ingredient for this recipe)
- some romaine lettuce leaves

I cooked the chicken in some olive and sesame oil for a while until it was close to being done. I then, added the onions, pepper and garlic. After everything was cooked sufficiently, I dumped the cooked mixture into a bowl where I had mixed the soy sauce, vinegar, fish sauce and some more of the sesame oil. I also added the crushed almonds and mixed it all together. When we ate it, we scooped a little bit of the filling in the lettuce leaves and rolled it up and ate it. Yum!

Sorry I don't have exact measurements. I usually cook like this, where I just add the amount I like.
