A quick dinner with the promise of an awesome work lunch? YES, PLEASE! Thank you, Pioneer Woman, for the inspiration.
Aside from the tortilla, this wrap is loaded with protein (why hello, chicken and peanuts!), veggies and an amazing crunch. I was a very happy lady when these crossed my kitchen last week. I have no idea what qualifies these as being Thai (other than the peanut sauce), but it seemed fitting. Hah! Enjoy.

Ingredients
- 4 whole chicken breasts, trimmed of excess fat and cubed
- Canola oil
- 3 carrots, peeled and cut into strips
- 1 cucumber, cored and cut into strips
- 4 whole wheat tortillas (optional: toasted)
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 4 tablespoons peanut sauce
- 4 tablespoons peanuts
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons hot chili oil
- 6 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, hot chili oil, lime juice, ginger and brown sugar.
- Pour half into a separate bowl and add the cubed chicken to one.
- In the other bowl, add cornstarch and honey. Set aside.
- Over medium high heat, drizzle a skillet with canola oil. Add half of the chicken (leaving most of the liquid in the bowl) in a single layer. Cook for 1 minute, then stir and cook additional 3-4 minutes. Transfer cooked chicken to a separate plate.
- Repeat for remaining chicken.
- Once cooked, add the plated cooked chicken back to the pan. Including remaining sauce in the bowls.
- Reduce heat to low and stir. Simmer for 2-3 minutes then turn off the heat (note: if sauce isn’t thick enough for you, put the heat back on and add a little more cornstarch, then stir for 1 minute).
- To serve, lay a tortilla (toast, if you like) on a large plate. Add spinach, chicken, 2 or 3 carrot strips, 2 or 3 cucumber strips, a sprinkle of peanuts and a drizzle of peanut sauce.
- Roll tortilla, fastening with toothpicks.
