# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 2 tbsp warm water until smooth. This Zesty Peanut Dressing is a crucial flavor component for your Thai Chicken Wraps with Crunchy Asian Slaw.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups shredded green cabbage, 1 cup shredded carrots, and 1/4 cup sliced green onions. Set aside these Vibrant Slaw Crunch ingredients for later assembly.
03 -
Slice 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into thin strips. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
04 -
Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in 1 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp fish sauce, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and well-coated.
05 -
Pour the prepared Zesty Peanut Dressing over the shredded green cabbage, shredded carrots, and sliced green onions. Toss thoroughly to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated. This Crunchy Asian Slaw adds a delightful texture to your Thai Chicken Wraps.
06 -
Arrange 8 large butter lettuce leaves on a serving platter. Divide the Savory Thai Chicken and the Crunchy Asian Slaw evenly among the lettuce cups, ready for your delicious Thai Chicken Wraps.
07 -
Garnish your Thai Chicken Wraps with Crunchy Asian Slaw with 1/4 cup fresh cilantro and 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts. Serve immediately for a vibrant, fresh, and satisfying meal.
# Notes:
01 -
For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with pan-fried tofu or tempeh, seasoned similarly.
02 -
The peanut dressing and slaw can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored separately in the refrigerator. Toss the slaw with dressing just before serving.
03 -
Adjust the spice level by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken or a dash of sriracha to the dressing.
04 -
These wraps are also excellent served deconstructed as a salad bowl, perfect for meal prep.
