Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
Wraps
- 8 rice paper wraps or large tortilla wraps
Vegetables
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 cup julienned carrots
- 1 cup cucumber slices, cut into thin sticks
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Peanut Sauce (natural)
- 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (natural)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (natural)
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Garnish
- 1/4 cup crushed peanuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Thinly slice the chicken breast into strips. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
- Whip Up the Peanut Sauce (natural): In a small bowl, combine natural peanut butter, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup (natural), soy sauce (natural), and fresh lime juice. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and creamy, adjusting sweetness or acidity to taste.
- Prep Vegetables: While the chicken cooks, shred the cabbage finely, julienne the carrots, slice the cucumber into thin sticks, chop green onions, and rinse the cilantro leaves. Having everything ready makes assembly a breeze.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the rice paper or your choice of wrap, spoon on a generous portion of chicken followed by a colorful layer of veggies. Drizzle with the peanut sauce (natural) and sprinkle crushed peanuts on top for texture. Fold or roll tightly to secure everything inside.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps immediately for the best fresh flavor and texture. Slice in half if you like and watch the vibrant fillings peek out invitingly.
Notes
- Prep veggies ahead: Wash and slice vegetables in advance to save cooking time.
- Adjust sauce thickness: Add a splash of warm water to thin peanut sauce (natural) if you prefer it less dense.
- Use fresh lime: Fresh lime juice makes a significant difference over bottled for brightness.
- Don’t overfill: Keep fillings balanced to ensure your wraps won’t tear or fall apart.
- Toast peanuts: Lightly toast crushed peanuts for an extra depth of flavor and crunch.
