Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
Vegetables
- 1 cucumber, sliced into matchstick pieces
- 1 bell pepper, sliced into matchstick pieces
- 2 carrots, shredded or sliced into matchsticks
- Fresh cilantro or basil, roughly chopped (about 1/4 cup)
Wraps
- 8 rice paper wraps
Peanut Sauce (natural)
- 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp natural honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
Garnishes
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
- Wedges of lime (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Sauce (natural): In a bowl, combine natural peanut butter, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, natural honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the taste by adding more vinegar or honey as desired.
- Marinate the Chicken: Toss the sliced chicken strips with a few tablespoons of the prepared peanut sauce and let sit for 15 minutes to infuse flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook until golden and thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat and toss with a bit more peanut sauce while still warm.
- Prep the Veggies: Wash and slice cucumbers, bell peppers, and carrots into matchstick-size pieces. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro or basil. Pat all veggies dry.
- Soften the Rice Paper Wraps: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Briefly dip one rice paper wrap at a time until soft but still slightly firm to the touch.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the softened rice paper flat on a clean surface. Place a few strips of chicken, a handful of veggies, a sprinkle of chopped peanuts, and a drizzle of peanut sauce in the center. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly to secure all ingredients inside. Repeat for all wraps.
Notes
- Do not soak the rice paper wraps too long to prevent tearing and sogginess.
- Pat all vegetables dry after washing to keep the wraps crisp.
- Use fresh cilantro or basil for best flavor.
- Prepare extra peanut sauce (natural) to serve on the side for dipping.
- Chicken can be marinated for 15 minutes before cooking for deeper flavor.
