Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 8 pieces romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup cucumber, julienned
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.25 cup crushed peanuts
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon Sriracha or chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (e.g., vegetable oil)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for extra flavor.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small bowl, mix peanut butter, rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, water, and Sriracha. Stir until smooth, adding more water if necessary to reach your desired consistency. Set aside.
Heat the neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season with salt and black pepper.
Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Lay them flat on a serving platter or individual plates.
Assemble the wraps by placing a few strips of chicken onto each lettuce leaf. Add shredded carrots, julienned cucumber, and a few cilantro leaves on top.
Drizzle the peanut sauce over the filling and sprinkle with crushed peanuts for added crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Thai Chicken Wraps!
