Thai Chicken Wraps with Crunchy Asian Slaw

A vibrant and flavorful fusion of tender chicken and refreshing crunchy slaw wrapped in tortillas, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 4 large tortillas or wraps
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and peanut butter. Whisk until smooth. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they’re well coated. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Prepare the Crunchy Slaw: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions. Drizzle a bit of lime juice and a sprinkle of salt to season. Toss until well combined.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Warm your tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Layer a scoop of shredded chicken on each tortilla, followed by the crunchy slaw. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly like a burrito.

Notes

These wraps can be made ahead of time. Just keep the chicken, slaw, and wraps separate until you’re ready to eat to prevent sogginess. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves.
