Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Protein
- 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced
Peanut Sauce (natural)
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp natural soy sauce
- 1 tsp natural brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1/4 tsp natural gelling agent
Fresh Vegetables
- 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
Wraps and Toppings
- 4 soft tortillas or rice paper wraps
- 1/4 cup chopped plant-based peanuts (optional)
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Sauce (natural): In a small bowl, whisk together natural peanut butter, apple cider vinegar, natural soy sauce, natural brown sugar, minced garlic, finely grated ginger, and natural gelling agent until smooth and creamy. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the thinly sliced chicken breast until thoroughly cooked and lightly golden, about 6-8 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Chop Fresh Vegetables: While the chicken cooks, thinly slice the carrots, cucumber, red bell pepper, and green onions. To keep veggies crisp, place them in cold water if preparing in advance.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla or rice paper wrap flat, spread a generous spoonful of the peanut sauce onto it, then layer with cooked chicken and fresh veggies. Add a sprinkle of chopped plant-based peanuts and cilantro if desired.
- Roll and Serve: Fold the sides of the wrap over the filling and roll tightly to secure everything inside. Slice in half for easier handling if preferred, then serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for the best crunch and flavor.
- Do not overfill the wraps to make rolling easier and less messy.
- Taste and adjust the peanut sauce for balance between acidity and sweetness before assembling.
- Lightly toast the chopped plant-based peanuts to enhance flavor and crunch.
- Prep veggies in advance and keep them in ice water until ready to use to maintain crispness.
