Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
- 4 pieces large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- 1 medium, sliced into strips cucumber
- 4 large pieces lettuce leaves
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Grate the ginger and mince the garlic. In a small bowl, mix together the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice.
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, coating it evenly. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, honey, and sriracha sauce. Stir until smooth and heated through, then set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked and lightly browned.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Lay each tortilla flat and place a lettuce leaf in the center.
Top the lettuce leaf with a portion of the cooked chicken, shredded carrot, cucumber slices, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Drizzle the peanut sauce over the fillings, then fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly into a wrap.
Serve the wraps immediately, or wrap them in parchment paper for a grab-and-go meal.
