Description

A delightful wrap featuring juicy marinated chicken, vibrant crunchy slaw, and creamy peanut sauce, all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for marinade)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil (for marinade)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (fresh preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for peanut sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (for peanut sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (for peanut sauce)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 12 tablespoons warm water (to thin sauce)
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • ½ red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
  • 2 scallions (thinly sliced)
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (for slaw)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (for slaw)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt (to taste)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Extra cilantro and chopped peanuts (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ginger, and chili flakes. Add chicken, coat evenly, and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Prepare the peanut sauce by whisking together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add warm water to achieve a smooth consistency.
  3. Make the slaw by tossing together green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, scallions, and cilantro. Whisk lime juice, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a separate bowl and pour over the slaw. Toss and let sit for 10 minutes.
  4. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let rest before slicing.
  5. Warm tortillas briefly, then spread a layer of peanut sauce on each. Add a handful of slaw and sliced chicken, drizzle more peanut sauce, and garnish if desired.
  6. Fold the tortillas and slice diagonally to serve.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate chicken overnight. You can also customize the slaw with seasonal vegetables.
