Ingredients
Chicken
- Chicken breast, boneless and skinless, 2 pieces
- Salt, pinch
- Black pepper, pinch
- Sesame oil (natural), 1 tablespoon
Wraps
- Rice paper or soft flatbreads, 6 pieces
Crunchy Asian Slaw
- Red cabbage, shredded, 1 cup
- Green cabbage, shredded, 1 cup
- Carrots, finely shredded, 1 cup
- Fresh cilantro, chopped, 1/4 cup
- Fresh mint, chopped, 1/4 cup
- Green onions, sliced, 2 stalks
- Peanuts, chopped, 1/4 cup
Dressing
- Lime juice, 2 tablespoons
- Grape juice (natural), 2 tablespoons
- Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), 1 tablespoon
- Sesame oil (natural), 1 teaspoon
- Natural gelling agent, a pinch
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of sesame oil (natural). Grill or pan-sear them over medium heat until cooked through and golden on the outside. Allow the chicken to rest briefly, then slice into thin strips to ensure tenderness and juiciness.
- Make the Crunchy Asian Slaw. In a large bowl, combine the shredded red and green cabbage, grated carrots, chopped cilantro, mint, green onions, and chopped peanuts. In a separate small bowl, whisk together lime juice, grape juice (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), sesame oil (natural), and a pinch of natural gelling agent. Pour this dressing over the slaw mixture and toss lightly to coat the vegetables without overdressing.
- Assemble the Wraps. Soften the rice paper or warm the flatbreads just enough to make them flexible. Lay each wrap flat, place a generous scoop of the Asian slaw in the center, then add sliced chicken breast on top. Fold the sides over and roll tightly to secure the filling inside.
- Serve and Enjoy. Serve the wraps immediately to enjoy the crispness of the slaw contrasted with the tender chicken. Optionally, serve extra dressing on the side for dipping or to add more zing.
Notes
- Use freshly chopped cilantro and mint to enhance aroma and brightness.
- Do not overdress the slaw to maintain its crunch.
- Slice chicken thinly for even distribution in the wrap.
- Warm wraps gently to avoid sogginess or tearing.
- Prepare the slaw a few hours ahead and refrigerate to let flavors meld.
