Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Sriracha (or similar spicy chili sauce)
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon canola oil (or grapeseed oil, divided)
2 cups broccoli slaw
1 cup shelled edamame (thawed if frozen)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
1/4 cup dry roasted salted peanuts (chopped)
Chopped fresh cilantro (to taste)
4 whole wheat tortillas

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.

This is a very tasty Asian-inspired dish made with chicken and broccoli in a spicy peanut sauce. If you like it mild, use less cayenne, like it spicy, use more. If you're salt conscious, use low sodium soy sauce.

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs: They're more flavorful and juicy than chicken breasts.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Coat the chicken in cornstarch before frying: This will help the chicken get crispy.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil: This will help the chicken cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce: The Thai peanut sauce in this recipe is a great option.

Conclusion:

These crunchy chicken chunks with Thai peanut sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the peanut sauce is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
