Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
chicken breast, cooked and sliced
tortillas or wraps
carrot, shredded
cabbage, shredded
cucumber, sliced
fresh cilantro
green onions, chopped
peanut butter
soy sauce
lime juice
honey
garlic, minced
ginger, grated
warm water

Directions

I start by preparing the peanut sauce. I mix peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic, ginger, and a bit of warm water until the sauce is smooth and pourable.

Next, I lay out the tortillas and spread a layer of the peanut sauce over each one. I add the sliced chicken, shredded carrot, cabbage, cucumber, cilantro, and green onions on top.

I drizzle a little more peanut sauce over the filling for extra flavor. Then I fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly into a wrap.

I slice the wraps in half and serve immediately.

Servings and timing

I usually get about 2–3 servings from this recipe.
Prep time takes around 15–20 minutes, and there’s no additional cooking time if the chicken is already prepared.

Variations

I sometimes swap chicken for shrimp or tofu for a different protein option. When I want extra crunch, I add crushed peanuts or bell peppers. I also like using lettuce wraps instead of tortillas for a lighter version.

storage/reheating

I store the filling and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I assemble the wraps just before eating to keep them fresh. I don’t usually reheat them, but if needed, I warm the chicken slightly before assembling.

FAQs

Can I make the peanut sauce ahead of time?

I often prepare it in advance and store it in the fridge for up to a few days.

What type of tortillas work best?

I like using soft flour tortillas, but whole wheat or gluten-free options work well too.

Is this recipe spicy?

It’s not spicy by default, but I can add chili flakes or sriracha if I want heat.

Can I use store-bought rotisserie chicken?

I use it often for convenience, and it works perfectly.

How do I keep the wraps from getting soggy?

I avoid adding too much sauce and assemble them right before serving.

Conclusion

I enjoy making this Thai peanut chicken wrap because it’s quick, versatile, and packed with flavor. It’s a great option when I want a fresh and satisfying meal without spending too much time in the kitchen.
