Steps:
- In a small bowl, stir together all of the sauce ingredients: peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, ginger, and lime. Set aside.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Heat half of the oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken (be careful as the oil may splatter), and sauté the chicken until fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a bowl and blot away any excess oil. To the bowl, add 1/4 cup of the peanut sauce, then toss to coat the chicken. Reserve the rest of the sauce for serving.
- To the same skillet in which you cooked the chicken, add the remaining oil and let warm for 30 seconds. Add the broccoli slaw, edamame, carrots, and half of the green onions and sauté until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- To assemble wraps, spread a spoonful of the reserved sauce on each tortilla.
- Top with the chicken, vegetables, chopped peanuts, remaining green onions, and fresh cilantro. Wrap and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

THAI PEANUT CHICKEN

- Peanut sauce:
- Combine all the ingredients in food processor and mix until well blended. Set aside.

- Mix all the ingredients, except the pineapple, together in a bowl, then add the pineapple slices. Let sit for a minimum of 30 minutes. This can also be made a day ahead and refrigerated.

- Dough:
- Preheat the grill and the oven to 400 degrees F.

- Using a stand mixer, add the flours, salt, cornmeal, sesame seeds, and orange zest, and mix with dough hook. Add the yeasted water and mix for 30 seconds. Add the sesame oil, ginger and garlic.

ASIAN PEANUT CRUSTED CHICKEN
I found this recipe on another site (Mommy, What's For Dinner.) I pair this with the Spicy Thai Pasta and it makes for a great dinner and conveniently they both have similar ingredients! I am a vegetarian so cooking meat is not first nature to me. Every time I make this chicken dish it turns out juicy and amazing according to my carnivore family and friends. If I can do it...you know you can :) Tips and Tricks You can use dried ginger in pinch and you can also substitute another type of vinegar if you don't have rice vinegar.
