Thai Chicken Wraps with Peanut Sauce

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

For the Veggie Saute:

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup finely shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup finely shredded carrots
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 large cloves garlic, finely minced

To Wrap:

  • 6 12-inch tortillas
  • 3 cups warm, cooked Jasmine rice
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Chopped roasted, salted peanuts

For the Peanut Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions:

  1. Combine garlic, pepper, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Rub the mixture onto both sides of the chicken. Preheat the broiler to high (or use a gas or charcoal grill) and broil (or grill) the chicken about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove to a plate and tent with foil. Let the chicken rest 5-10 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  2. Combine all the peanut sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend/process until smooth. Set aside.
  3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onion, cabbage, carrots, ginger and garlic. Sauté the mixture, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are crisp tender. Place a scoop of warm rice on a tortilla. Top with sliced chicken, sauteed vegetables and sprinkle the roasted peanuts and green onions on top. Drizzle peanut sauce over the top. Roll up tightly and serve immediately.
