Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works perfectly!)
  • 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
  • 4 large lettuce leaves, such as romaine or butter lettuce

Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

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 smooth. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of warm water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
  2. Combine with Chicken: Add the 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken to the bowl with the peanut sauce. Stir gently until all the chicken is evenly coated in the delicious sauce.
  3. Set Up Your Base: Lay out the four large lettuce leaves on a clean surface or individual plates. Make sure they are washed and patted thoroughly dry to prevent a soggy wrap.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Spoon an equal amount of the peanut chicken mixture onto the center of each lettuce leaf.
  5. Add the Toppings: Top the chicken with a generous amount of shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, and freshly chopped cilantro.
  6. Garnish and Serve: If you like extra crunch, sprinkle some chopped peanuts over the top. Drizzle with any extra peanut sauce you may have reserved.
  7. Roll and Enjoy: Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaves over the filling and roll them up as tightly as you can. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

For a smoother sauce, microwave stiff peanut butter for 15-20 seconds before whisking. Using a rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver. For meal prep, store the sauce, chicken mixture, and veggies in separate airtight containers in the fridge. To make it spicy, add sriracha or red pepper flakes to the sauce.
