# Instructions:
01 -
Season 3/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. This is the savory core for your Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps | 32g Protein & Quick Meal Prep.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 tsp minced garlic until smooth. This creamy peanut drizzle is essential for the delicious Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps | 32g Protein & Quick Meal Prep.
03 -
While the chicken cooks, prepare your vibrant veggie crunch. Thinly slice 1 large red bell pepper, julienne 1/2 large cucumber, and shred 1 cup carrots and 1 cup red cabbage. Arrange these colorful vegetables for easy assembly of your wraps.
04 -
Once cooked, remove the chicken breast from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps keep it juicy. Then, slice or shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. This protein-packed component is ready for your Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps | 32g Protein & Quick Meal Prep.
05 -
Lay out 12-16 large butter lettuce leaves. Spoon a portion of the sliced chicken onto each leaf, then top with a generous amount of the prepared red bell pepper, shredded carrots, julienned cucumber, and shredded red cabbage.
06 -
Drizzle each wrap generously with the creamy peanut sauce. Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and 2 tbsp chopped dry roasted peanuts. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh, flavorful Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps | 32g Protein & Quick Meal Prep.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a tablespoon of the peanut sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
02 -
Store leftover chicken and vegetables separately from the lettuce and sauce in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Assemble just before serving to prevent sogginess.
03 -
Feel free to swap chicken breast for chicken thighs, shrimp, or even firm tofu for a vegetarian option. Add a dash of sriracha to the sauce for a spicy kick!
04 -
These wraps are also fantastic served as a bowl! Just chop the lettuce and toss all ingredients together with the sauce.
