This is another keeper for me!! My kids wouldn't eat it, but I loved it! This is something that I will make and eat for lunches. I would eat it all week! Super simple, you can even use leftover rotisserie chicken or if you are grilling, do extra and have this the next day!
Definitely great and loved loved loved it!!!
Ginger-Peanut Chicken-Salad Wraps
(from myrecipes.com)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 3 chicken breasts
- 1 cup seeded and peeled cucumber (I didn't have any cucumbers, but will definitely add next time!)
- 3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp minced peeled fresh ginger (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
- 3 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground red pepper
- 1 garlic clove, crushed or minced
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (didn't use cause hubby hates!!)
- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce (or whatever you have on hand)
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until done. I salt and peppered the chicken too! Remove chicken from pan and let cool. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite size pieces. Place chicken, cucumber and red pepper in a large bowl and set aside.
Place sugar, ginger, lime juice, soy sauce, salt, ground red pepper and garlic in a blender. Blend until smooth. Add peanut butter and water. Blend until smooth, scraping sides as needed.
Add peanut butter mixture to chicken mixture and stir well. Add cilantro (if using) and toss together. Warm tortillas. I warmed them up on a skillet on the stove. Place warmed tortilla on a plate. Spoon your chicken mixture down the middle. Top with about a 1/2 cup of lettuce and roll up! Enjoy!!
