Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced

1/2 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or green onions

4 whole wheat or spinach wraps (8-inch)

1/4 cup chopped peanuts (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth and well-blended. This will be your delicious Thai peanut sauce!

    Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, toss the cooked chicken with half of the peanut sauce until evenly coated. Reserve the remaining sauce for drizzling.

      Add the Veggies: Fold in the shredded carrots, cucumber slices, red bell pepper, and cilantro (or green onions) into the chicken mixture. This adds a crunchy, colorful touch to the wraps!

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay a whole wheat or spinach wrap flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken and veggie mixture onto the center of the wrap.

          Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the wrap and roll it up tightly from the bottom, making sure the filling is securely enclosed. Repeat with the remaining wraps.

            Serve: Cut the wraps in half on a diagonal for easy handling (kids love this!). Drizzle with the reserved peanut sauce and sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for added crunch!

              Enjoy!: Pack these wraps for lunch or serve them as a fun dinner option for the family. Kids will love the taste and the hands-on aspect of wrapping their own!
