Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Sauce

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger

Wrap Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 4 large lettuce leaves (such as romaine or butter lettuce)
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peanut sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Mix chicken with peanut sauce: Place the shredded cooked chicken in a large mixing bowl and add half of the prepared peanut sauce. Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
  3. Prepare the lettuce wraps: Lay the large lettuce leaves flat on a clean surface. Spoon an equal amount of the peanut chicken mixture onto the center of each leaf.
  4. Add vegetables and toppings: Top the chicken with shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, and chopped fresh cilantro. Drizzle additional peanut sauce over the top if desired for extra flavor.
  5. Optional crunch: Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the filling to add a crunchy texture.
  6. Assemble and serve: Fold the sides of each lettuce leaf over the filling and roll them up tightly to form wraps. Serve immediately for best freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken leftovers or rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter if preferred.
  • Adjust the amount of honey and soy sauce to taste for a sweeter or saltier sauce.
  • For extra heat, add a dash of sriracha or chili flakes to the peanut sauce.
  • These wraps are best eaten fresh to keep the lettuce crisp.
  • Peanuts can be omitted to make the recipe nut-free; consider using toasted pumpkin seeds instead.
