Ingredients

For the dressing:

¼ cup (60 g) peanut butter
¼ cup (60 ml) low‑sodium soy sauce
2 Tbsp (30 ml) brown sugar or honey
2 Tbsp (30 ml) rice wine vinegar
½ Tbsp (7 g) minced garlic
½ Tbsp (7 g) minced ginger
1 tsp (5 ml) sriracha sauce
1–2 Tbsp (15–30 ml) water, optional—just to thin if needed

For the wraps

2 cooked chicken breasts, chopped
3 cups (300 g) coleslaw mix
½ cup (60 g) grated carrot (optional, but adds a nice crunch and colour)
¼ cup (15 g) chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup (30 g) roasted, salted peanuts
4–6 flour tortillas (or your favourite dairy‑free wraps)

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Whisk the dressing: Combine peanut butter, soy sauce, sweetener (brown sugar or honey), rice wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sriracha in a bowl. If it’s too thick, stir in 1–2 Tbsp of water until it flows just right.
Mix the filling: In a large bowl, toss together chopped chicken, coleslaw mix, optional grated carrot, cilantro, and peanuts. Pour the dressing over everything and mix well—taste buds, brace yourselves!
Let it rest: Give it a 3–5 minute pause so the flavours meld and the slaw softens just enough. Good things are worth waiting for.

Warm the wraps: Pop the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds so they’re pliable and ready to roll.
Assemble: Divide the filling evenly among the tortillas, roll them up snugly, and serve right away while everything’s deliciously fresh.

Tips That Make This Even Better

Kick up (or down) the heat: Add more sriracha if you’re craving bold spice—or skip it entirely for a milder crowd.

Swap smartly: For a gluten‑free or grain‑free twist, use corn tortillas or lettuce wraps—they work beautifully with the Thai peanut sauce.
Make‑ahead magic: Prep the dressing and filling separately, then stash them in the fridge. When dinnertime hits, just warm, wrap, and go.
Crunch lovers unite: For extra texture, toss in crispy onions or sliced bell peppers. They make snack time feel like a party.

A Slice of My Kitchen Life

You know, this recipe is one I lean on when the kids are clamouring for attention and the “what’s for dinner?” panic sets in. I once whipped it together between helping with homework and folding laundry—my kids declared it “restaurant-style”, which I took as a compliment, even if I was still barefoot and wearing my “laundry-day” T‑shirt. It’s the kind of meal that turns juggling chaos into something cosy, where a simple wrap can still sparkle. And the best part? One of my most reluctant veggie-avoiders sneaks in extra coleslaw just because it’s wrapped up in that dreamy Thai peanut sauce.

What to Serve with These Wraps

Simple sides: Fresh cucumber slices or baby carrots make quick, crunchy companions.

A zingy salad: A light cucumber‑mint or cabbage slaw—dressed with lime, a dash of sugar, and sesame—keeps the theme fresh and vibrant.
Sidenote spin: Try pairing with a chilled mango salsa or pineapple salad for tropical balance.
Drinks: A sparkling iced tea or a citrusy spritzer makes this feel like a breezy summer meal—even if you’re mid‑winter.

How to Store Leftovers (If They Last!)

Wrap separately: Keep the filling and tortillas in separate containers to avoid soggy wraps.
Reassemble later: Fillings can stay for up to 2 days in the fridge. Warm your tortilla, fill it and enjoy like it’s fresh.
Freeze fleet: The filling freezes well—freeze in portions, thaw in the fridge, warm gently, and wrap. Super handy for emergency dinners.

Re‑heat tip: Microwave the filling covered briefly, just until warm, then re‑wrap—it keeps its texture and flavour.

FAQs About These Chicken Wraps

Can I substitute peanut butter?

You sure can. Almond or cashew butter is are solid alternative—you’ll get a different nutty flavour, but still a creamy Thai peanut sauce vibe.

Is this recipe suitable for dairy‑free wraps?

Absolutely! Use grain‑free or corn tortillas, or even collard‑green wraps—they all cosy up well to this flavour profile and keep it dairy-free.

How long does the dressing last?

Stored in a sealed jar, the peanut dressing stays good for about 4‑5 days. Shake or stir before using—just manners in case it separates.

Can I make this vegetarian?

Totally! Swap chicken for tofu cubes, chickpeas, or even roasted sweet potato sticks for a hearty, meat‑free version.
