  2. Make the Peanut sauce recipe . Whisk together peanut butter, coconut milk, rice vinegar, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and sesame oil.

Storage Tips: Keepin' it Fresh

Got leftovers? No worries! Store the grilled chicken separately from the tortillas to prevent them from getting soggy. Refrigerate the chicken in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

The peanut sauce recipe can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. When reheating, warm the chicken gently in a pan or microwave.

Best to reheat the easy chicken wrap recipe in a dry skillet or oven. Don't really recommend freezing these though; they're best fresh!

Nutrition Basics: Goodness in Every Bite

While I'm no nutritionist, let's keep it real. Each wrap clocks in at around 450 calories, with a good hit of protein (about 30g!), some healthy fats (around 20g!), and carbs (around 40g!).

You're getting fibre from the veggies, and the peanut butter provides healthy fats and protein. Just remember, this is a rough estimate, so take it with a grain of salt! It can even be considered homemade Thai food when you control all your ingredients.

So there you have it! Some quick tips to make your grilled chicken wraps even more amazing. This easy chicken wrap recipe is all about having fun in the kitchen, so don't be afraid to experiment and adjust to your taste.

Summer Dinner Vibrant Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps Recipe

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps with Creamy Dreamy Peanut Sauce ahead of time? I'm always rushing around like a headless chicken!

You can certainly prep elements in advance to save time, mate! Marinate the chicken a day before and store it in the fridge. The peanut sauce can also be made ahead; just give it a good stir before using, as it might thicken up. However, I wouldn't recommend assembling the wraps too far in advance, as the tortillas can get soggy. Think of it like making a packed lunch - best done fresh!

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food. Can I make the Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps without the heat?

Absolutely, no problem at all! Just omit the red pepper flakes from the chicken marinade. You can also leave out any spicy elements from the peanut sauce; it'll still be delicious. A little sprinkle of chopped peanuts adds a lovely crunch and some extra flavour too, if you're looking for something to compensate for the heat. Think of it as dialing down the spice level to "mildly amusing" rather than "fire-breathing dragon."

What's the best way to store leftover Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps with Creamy Dreamy Peanut Sauce? Will they keep till Tuesday?

For the best quality, store the chicken and the other fillings separately from the tortillas. Keep the chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The pre-assembled wraps, however, aren't great for storing, as the tortillas tend to get soggy. It's always better to assemble them fresh when you're ready to eat. Consider them a Friday night treat that is best served immediately after creation.

I’m trying to cut back on carbs. Can I still enjoy these Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps?

Definitely! You can ditch the tortillas altogether and serve the Thai Peanut Chicken with Creamy Dreamy Peanut Sauce as a salad over a bed of lettuce or mixed greens. Another option is to use low-carb tortillas, which are readily available in most supermarkets these days. You could also swap in some crunchy lettuce cups for the tortillas for a super-fresh, low-carb alternative.

Can I grill the chicken indoors if the weather is being a right pain?

You bet! If the weather's playing silly buggers, you can easily grill the chicken indoors using a grill pan on your stovetop. Alternatively, you could bake the chicken in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Just remember to flip them halfway through so they cook evenly. Ultimately, whatever works and gets the chicken cooked through is the correct choice.

My peanut butter is a bit solid. Any tips for making a smooth peanut sauce for my Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps?

Pop it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to soften it up, or stir it really well with a fork. If that doesn't quite do it, add a little more coconut milk or water to your peanut sauce until it reaches your desired consistency. Also, using natural, unsweetened peanut butter might require a touch more honey to balance the flavours; it is all a matter of preference, so keep trying until it is right for you.
