Thai Chicken Wrap with Spicy Peanut Sauce

I got this recipe from Rachel Ray’s 30-minute meals.  Ryan loved it and had it two nights in a row already haha.  I am Asian and would never give up cooking and eating Asian food. The recipe is very easy and you can customize it anyway that you like.  You can use turkey as a healthier alternative or add and/or remove any veggies that you want in your salad.


Ingredients –
  • 3 (6-ounce) chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon grill seasoning
  • 1/2 seedless cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced on an angle
  • 2 cups fresh bean sprouts
  • 1 cup shredded carrots, available in pouches in produce department
  • 3 scallions, sliced on an angle
  • 12 leaves basil, chopped or torn
  • 3 tablespoons chopped mint leaves (4 sprigs)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar or white vinegar
  • Salt
For the Spicy Peanut Sauce –
  • 1/4 cup room temperature chunky peanut butter, soften in microwave if it has been refrigerated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar or white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 (12-inch) flour tortilla wraps
How to make the wrap –
  1. Heat a grill pan over high heat. Toss chicken with soy and oil and grill 6 minutes on each side.
  2. Combine cucumber, sprouts, carrots, scallions, basil, mint and sesame with a generous sprinkle of sugar and vinegar. Season salad with salt, to taste.
  3. Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar and cayenne together. Stream in vegetable oil.
  4. Slice cooked chicken on an angle. Toss with veggies and herbs.
  5. In a very hot nonstick skillet or over a gas burner heat tortillas 15 seconds on each side.
  6. Pile chicken and veggies in wraps and drizzle liberally with spicy peanut sauce before wrapping and rolling.
