Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or 2 cups cooked chicken
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • salt and pepper to taste

For the Peanut Sauce

  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter smooth
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated or minced
  • 1-2 tsp sriracha adjust to taste
  • 2-3 tbsp warm water to thin sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil optional

For the Wraps

  • 4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat
  • 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 large carrot cut into matchsticks
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 cucumber cut into matchsticks
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup roasted peanuts chopped
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • butter lettuce optional, for layering

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and sriracha. Add warm water until creamy. Set aside half for serving.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil. Season chicken with garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook 6–8 minutes until golden. Add soy sauce at the end and toss. Remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl, toss cabbage, carrot, bell pepper, and cucumber with a few tablespoons of the peanut sauce and optional splash of vinegar. Add cilantro and green onions. Toss again.
  • Lay out tortillas. Optional: layer butter lettuce first. Spread peanut sauce in the center, add veggie mix, chicken, more sauce, and chopped peanuts.
  • Wrap tightly: fold sides in, roll from bottom. Slice in half. Serve with extra sauce for dipping.

Notes

Prep the components separately to avoid sogginess: store sauce, chicken, and veggies in separate containers. Assemble just before eating. Wraps don't freeze well, but the sauce and cooked chicken do.
