Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound / 450g), sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce
  • 2–3 tablespoons warm water
  • 4 large flour tortillas or gluten-free corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded green cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or shredded
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine chicken strips with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Toss well and let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together peanut butter, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, honey, lime juice, grated ginger, and sriracha. Gradually add warm water until sauce is smooth and pourable.
  3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook marinated chicken strips for 5-6 minutes until cooked through and slightly golden, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove pan from heat and pour about two-thirds of the peanut sauce over the chicken. Stir gently to coat evenly. Reserve remaining sauce for drizzling.
  5. While chicken cooks, shred cabbage and carrots, slice cucumber, and chop cilantro. Warm tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 20 seconds.
  6. Lay a warm tortilla flat, spread shredded cabbage and carrots, add chicken coated in peanut sauce, place cucumber slices on top, sprinkle with chopped peanuts and cilantro, then drizzle with reserved peanut sauce. Roll up tightly, folding in sides.
  7. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Do not overcook chicken to keep it tender. Adjust peanut sauce consistency with warm water as needed. Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Warm tortillas before assembling for easier rolling. Prep veggies ahead to save time. Sauce can be made ahead and stored in fridge up to a week.
