Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp sriracha (or to taste)
• 2-4 tbsp warm water or coconut milk (to thin)
• 1 head butter lettuce, romaine, or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
• 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from skillet, let rest for 5 minutes, then shred or dice. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Peanut Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha until smooth. Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of warm water or coconut milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency (it should be pourable but still thick enough to coat the chicken).
3. Combine Chicken and Sauce: In a large bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken with about half of the peanut sauce, tossing to coat evenly. You can add more sauce if desired, reserving some for drizzling.
4. Prepare the Veggies: Wash and separate lettuce leaves. Prepare shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, sliced red bell pepper, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions.
5. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out individual lettuce cups. Spoon a portion of the sauced chicken into each lettuce cup. Top with shredded carrots, cucumber slices, red bell pepper, fresh cilantro, and green onions.
6. Serve: Drizzle with any remaining peanut sauce and sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts if using. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps!
