Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
Peanut Sauce (Natural)
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp tamari or soy sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar (natural)
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
Vegetables and Herbs
- 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
Wraps
- 4 whole wheat or spinach wraps
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cook the chicken breast until tender and fully cooked through, either by poaching or lightly pan-searing with a little olive oil. Let cool slightly, then shred into bite-sized pieces.
- Make the Peanut Sauce (Natural): In a small bowl, whisk together natural peanut butter, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, tamari or soy sauce (natural), rice vinegar (natural), fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and minced ginger until smooth and creamy.
- Prep Your Veggies: Wash and thinly slice carrots, cucumbers, and red bell pepper. Chop fresh cilantro leaves for garnish.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a whole wheat or spinach wrap flat. Spread a generous spoonful of peanut sauce (natural) in the center. Add a handful of shredded chicken, then pile on the sliced vegetables and sprinkle with cilantro. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to secure the filling.
- Serve or Pack for Later: If eating immediately, slice the wraps diagonally to showcase the colorful filling. For meal prep, wrap individually in parchment paper or reusable wraps to keep fresh.
Notes
- Warm the wraps gently before assembling to increase pliability and prevent cracking.
- Taste and adjust the peanut sauce with additional lime juice or tamari for preferred tang and saltiness.
- Prep vegetables ahead by slicing them the night before to save time.
- For crunch lovers, keep the peanut sauce (natural) separate until serving to maintain crisp textures.
- Double the peanut sauce to use as a drizzle over salads, rice bowls, or as a dipping sauce.
