Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced into bite-sized strips
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Peanut Sauce
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2–3 tablespoons water, to thin sauce as needed
- 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Vegetables and Wraps
- 1/2 cucumber, shredded
- 2 medium carrots, shredded
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 whole wheat tortillas or large lettuce leaves
- Optional: chopped peanuts or toasted cashews for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breast into thin, bite-sized strips. Season with salt and pepper. Cook in a hot pan over medium heat until golden and cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.
- Whip Up the Peanut Sauce: In a bowl, combine natural peanut butter, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir until smooth. Add the natural gelling agent and mix well for a creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Prep the Veggies: Shred cucumber and carrots finely, slice the red bell pepper thinly, and chop fresh cilantro. These will add freshness and crunch to your wraps.
- Assemble Your Wraps: Lay out tortillas or lettuce leaves flat. Spread a generous amount of peanut sauce on each. Add a layer of cooked chicken, then pile on the shredded vegetables. Sprinkle cilantro and optional nuts for extra texture. Roll the wraps tightly to secure filling.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cut the wraps diagonally for presentation and serve immediately while the chicken is warm and veggies are crisp.
Notes
- Cook chicken strips evenly by cutting them to similar sizes to prevent drying out.
- Use the natural gelling agent carefully to maintain a smooth, creamy peanut sauce.
- Prep veggies ahead of time for quicker assembly when ready to eat.
- Warm tortillas slightly to prevent cracking and enhance flavor before rolling.
- Add fresh cilantro just before serving to keep the flavor bright.
