Description

A quick weeknight dinner or tasty lunch with tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and a creamy peanut sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Boneless chicken breasts
  • 4 Large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup Peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
  • 4 Fresh lettuce leaves
  • 1 cup Purple cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup Carrots, julienned
  • 1/2 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Lime juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon Honey

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and honey until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
  2. Cut chicken breast into thin strips and place in a bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes while preparing vegetables.
  3. Wash and dry lettuce leaves, shred purple cabbage, julienne carrots into thin matchsticks, and chop fresh cilantro. Arrange all vegetables in separate bowls for easy assembly.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side, or wrap in damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds until soft and pliable.
  6. Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut sauce down the center of each tortilla. Layer with lettuce, purple cabbage, carrots, cooked chicken, and fresh cilantro. Drizzle with additional peanut sauce if desired.
  7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from bottom to top. Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately with extra peanut sauce on the side.

Notes

To store leftovers, wrap them tightly and keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Marinate the chicken for enhanced flavor.
