Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Peanut Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for heat)
  • 12 tablespoons water (to adjust consistency)

For the Wraps:

  • 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber, julienned
  • 1 cup red cabbage, shredded
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  2. Make the Peanut Sauce: While the chicken marinates, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, and sriracha if using. Add water gradually until the sauce is smooth but not too runny. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium heat. Place the marinated chicken onto the hot surface and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and juices run clear. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and layer with chicken strips, shredded carrots, julienned cucumber, shredded red cabbage, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with the prepared peanut sauce for extra flavor.
  5. Roll the Wraps: Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up to secure all ingredients inside. Repeat for all tortillas.
  6. Serve: Cut each wrap diagonally in half and serve with lime wedges and extra peanut sauce for dipping. Enjoy your flavorful Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps!

Notes

  • For a seafood alternative, replace chicken with grilled shrimp.
  • To make it vegetarian or vegan, substitute chicken with tofu and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Add avocado or bell peppers for extra creaminess and nutrients.
  • Adjust sriracha in the peanut sauce to control heat level.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber and nutrition.
