I’m still dreaming about how good and easy these Thai-inspired peanut chicken wraps are. They’re big, filling, protein-packed and include virtually every color of the rainbow.

A while back, when we could all go to restaurants normally, I had a gorgeous Thai-inspired peanut salad, which actually inspired me to make these Thai-Inspired Peanut Chicken Wraps. The salad was crunchy from the carrots and cabbage, flavorful and packed with veggies. I knew I had to recreate it for all of you and roll it up in a pretty tortilla.

Look, I know we talk about meal prep a lot on the blog, but sometimes it’s so much easier to throw together a wrap or a sandwich instead of making a big meal then dividing everything into meal prep containers, etc. I know this because most of the time (even when I do meal prep with dinner type meals) Tony goes for a classic turkey sandwich. I can’t blame him; I crave hearty sandwiches and wraps all the time — and there’s nothing wrong with that!

Ingredients in Thai-inspired peanut chicken wraps

This recipe was made for those moments when you want to bring something to lunch but literally have no idea what to make. The rainbow of veggies are truly what makes these easy Thai-inspired chicken wraps so delicious and fun to eat. You’ll need:

Basically just grab some veggies to keep on hand, throw in chicken (or use tofu or chickpeas) and make a bomb ass peanut sauce to drizzle on. I swear these will keep you full all afternoon, and they stay incredibly fresh in the fridge for a few days too!

How to make Thai-inspired chicken wraps

  1. First, make your dressing: in a small bowl mix together peanut butter, low sodium soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, honey and warm water until well combined and the consistency of a dressing. If you want it to be a little spicy, add in red pepper flakes or a little hot sauce. Set aside.
  2. Next, assemble your wraps: evenly divide carrots, red bell pepper, red cabbage, spinach, cilantro, green onion, peanuts and sliced chicken breast between two large spinach tortillas.
  3. Drizzle ½ of your dressing into each wrap before rolling them up. Carefully tuck in the sides of each wrap as your roll until ingredients are secured inside. You can secure everything together with a toothpick before cutting in half. Serve with extra peanut sauce! Serves 4, 1/2 burrito per person. If you’re really hungry you can eat the whole thing.

Customize your wrap

  • Make these vegetarian or vegan: use tofu or chickpeas instead of chicken. To make vegan, omit the honey or use a bit of maple syrup.
  • For a low carb or gluten free option: use a gluten free wrap or skip the wrap and enjoy this over more spinach or in lettuce cups.
  • Enjoy as a snack or appetizer: feel free to use smaller tortillas, you’ll most likely get 4 wraps out of it instead of 2.
  • Go nut free: omit the peanuts and try this delicious green tahini sauce or this curry tahini dressing for dipping & drizzling.

How to store Thai-inspired peanut chicken wraps:

Wrap these Thai-inspired chicken wraps in plastic wrap or in an airtight bag to save for later. The wraps will keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days and are delicious straight from the fridge. Serve them with leftover peanut sauce and add a dash of hot sauce if you like it a little spicy.
