Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Keeps the wrap juicy; chicken breast can be used but may be less moist.
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce Adds saltiness and depth; substitute with tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • 2 tbsp Sesame Oil Enhances flavor with a nutty aroma; reduce for a lighter taste.
  • 2 tbsp Lime Juice Brings brightness and acidity; lemon juice works in a pinch.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Provides savory notes; fresh minced garlic can be used instead (1 clove).
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger Offers warming spiciness; fresh grated ginger is a fresher alternative.
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Flakes Adds heat; omit for a non-spicy version or use Sriracha for a kick.
For the Peanut Sauce
  • 1/3 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Creates the base for the rich peanut sauce; substitute with sunflower seed butter for nut-free.
  • 1 tbsp Honey Sweetens the sauce naturally; use maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar Adds a tangy kick; apple cider vinegar can be used if unavailable.
For the Crunchy Asian Slaw
  • 2 cups Shredded Green Cabbage Provides crunch and color; can substitute with coleslaw mix for convenience.
  • 1 cup Shredded Red Cabbage Adds nutrients and vibrant color; more green cabbage can be used instead.
  • 1 cup Julienned Carrots Offers sweetness and texture; pre-packaged matchstick carrots are an easy option.
  • 1/2 whole Red Bell Pepper Adds sweetness and brightness; green bell pepper is a lower-sugar alternative.
  • 2 whole Scallions Contributes sharp onion notes; substitute with spring onions if needed.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Cilantro Enhances freshness; omit if cilantro isn't your favorite.
For the Wrap
  • 4 whole Flour Tortillas Holds everything together; substitute with gluten-free tortillas or lettuce wraps for a lower-carb version.
  • Chopped Peanuts For an added crunch on top; omit for nut-free diets.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground ginger, and optional chili flakes until well combined. Add the boneless skinless chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, and enough water to achieve a smooth consistency. Mix until creamy and well-blended, adjusting the water as necessary. Set the peanut sauce aside.
  3. In a large bowl, toss together shredded green and red cabbage, julienned carrots, thinly sliced red bell pepper, scallions, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle in lime juice and rice vinegar, along with a pinch of sugar and salt. Mix well, allowing flavors to meld for about 10 minutes.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs, cooking for 5-7 minutes per side until beautifully browned and cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
  5. To assemble the Thai Chicken Wrap, warm the flour tortillas slightly, spread a generous layer of peanut sauce, place a portion of the crunchy Asian slaw and sliced chicken on top, drizzle with extra peanut sauce, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
