Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha or similar spicy chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 2 medium breasts
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil or grapeseed oil divided
  • 2 cups broccoli slaw
  • 1 cup shelled edamame thawed if frozen
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup dry roasted salted peanuts chopped
  • Chopped fresh cilantro to taste
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, stir together the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, minced ginger, and lime juice until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set this aside for later.
    1/3 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon Sriracha or similar spicy chili sauce, 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  2. Cook the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces. Heat half of the oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken pieces and sauté until they are fully cooked and golden, which usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  3. Coat the Chicken: Transfer the cooked chicken to a bowl and blot away any excess oil with a paper towel. Add 1/4 cup of the prepared Thai peanut sauce to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat the chicken. Reserve the remaining sauce to use during assembly.
  4. Sauté the Vegetables: Using the same skillet, add the remaining oil and let it warm for about 30 seconds. Add the broccoli slaw, edamame, shredded carrots, and half of the green onions. Sauté the mixture for about 2 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender, then remove from the heat.
    1 tablespoon canola oil or grapeseed oil, 2 cups broccoli slaw, 1 cup shelled edamame, 1/2 cup shredded carrots, 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out a whole wheat tortilla and spread a spoonful of the reserved peanut sauce in the center. Top with a portion of the saucy chicken, the sautéed vegetable mixture, chopped peanuts, the remaining green onions, and fresh cilantro.

  6. Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly. You can serve these wraps immediately while warm or enjoy them at room temperature.

Notes

To save even more time, you can swap the fresh chicken for a store-bought rotisserie chicken or leftover shredded chicken. Avoid overfilling the tortillas to prevent the wraps from tearing and leaking.
