3. Step-by-step Instructions for Making Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

Preparing the Chicken

Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Making the Thai Peanut Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sriracha. Gradually add warm water until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Set aside.

Assembling the Wraps

Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of peanut sauce over each tortilla. Distribute the sliced chicken, shredded carrots, and red bell pepper evenly across the wraps. Sprinkle chopped cilantro and peanuts on top for added texture and flavor.

Rolling the Wraps

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from the bottom up. Cut in half diagonally if desired, and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for on-the-go dinners.

4. Storage Tips for Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

If you have leftovers, store the wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To prevent the wraps from becoming soggy, keep the peanut sauce separate and add just before eating. Reheat the chicken in a skillet or microwave to enjoy warm leftovers.

5. Serving Suggestions and Variations

Serve these Thai inspired dinner wraps alongside a side of creamy parmesan spinach mushroom pasta for a well-rounded meal. You can also add shredded lettuce, chopped green onions, or a squeeze of lime for extra zest. For a vegetarian version, substitute grilled tofu or tempeh for chicken.

6. Tips for Perfect Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps

• Use freshly made peanut sauce for maximum flavor.
• Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of sriracha.
• Mild or extra crunchy for different textures.
• For a gluten-free variation, opt for gluten-free tortillas and soy sauce.
