Thai Chicken Wraps with Peanut Sauce

Yield: 6 wraps
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

For the Veggie Saute:

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup finely shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup finely shredded carrots
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 large cloves garlic, finely minced

To Wrap:

  • 6 (12-inch) tortillas
  • 3 cups warm, cooked Jasmine rice
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Chopped roasted, salted peanuts

For the Peanut Sauce:

  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions 

  • Combine garlic, pepper, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Rub the mixture onto both sides of the chicken. Preheat the broiler to high (or use a gas or charcoal grill) and broil (or grill) the chicken about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove to a plate and tent with foil. Let the chicken rest 5-10 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  • Combine all the peanut sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend/process until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onion, cabbage, carrots, ginger and garlic. Sauté the mixture, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp tender.
  • Place a scoop of warm rice on a tortilla. Top with sliced chicken, sauteed vegetables and sprinkle the roasted peanuts and green onions on top. Drizzle peanut sauce over the top. Roll up tightly and serve immediately.

Notes

Chicken Bowl: Corina, who sent me the recipe, notes she often skips the tortilla and throws the ingredients together in a Thai-inspired chicken bowl. Yum!
Peanut Sauce: also, if you like a sweeter peanut sauce, increase the honey according to your taste.
