  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: Combine the chicken thighs with soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, garlic powder, ground ginger, and chili flakes. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make the peanut sauce: Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and warm water until smooth.
  3. Prepare the Asian slaw: Combine shredded cabbages, carrots, red bell pepper, scallions, and cilantro. Whisk lime juice, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, then pour over slaw.
  4. Cook the chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
  5. Assemble the wraps: Spread peanut sauce on a tortilla, add sliced chicken, top with slaw, and garnish with cilantro and peanuts. Roll up and enjoy!

Notes

You can customize with your favorite vegetables or try different proteins like shrimp or tofu. Marinate the chicken a day in advance for deeper flavor.
