• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 8 pieces Romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 large Carrot, julienned
• 0.5 large Cucumber, julienned
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves

• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Warm water

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and half of the minced garlic to create a marinade.

2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.

3. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and warm water until smooth. Set aside.

4. Heat the vegetable oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

5. Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

6. Prepare the vegetables by washing and cutting the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into julienne strips. Rinse the romaine lettuce leaves and pat them dry.

7. Assemble the Thai wraps by placing a lettuce leaf on a plate. Add a few slices of chicken, followed by julienned carrots, cucumbers, red bell peppers, and a sprinkle of cilantro and crushed peanuts.

8. Drizzle a small amount of peanut sauce over the top and roll the lettuce leaf into a wrap. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

9. Serve immediately, with extra peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
