The flavorful wraps make a satisfying healthy lunch to look forward to. Made with pre-cooked shredded chicken, plenty of veggies, delicious peanut sauce, and thin rice noodles, these wraps provide well-rounded nutrition. The chicken-noodle filling can also be eaten as a noodle salad without the wrap.

Prep: 25 mins Total: 25 mins
Servings: 6 wraps (6 cups filling) 1x

Ingredients

For the Peanut Sauce

  • ½ cup natural peanut butter
  • ¼ cup coconut aminos*
  • Juice of 1 large lime (2-3 tablespoons lime juice)
  • 1 tablespoon pure honey
  • 1½ teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced (may sub ½ teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger (may sub ½ teaspoon ground ginger)
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Warm water, if needed

For the Wraps: 

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 2 cups coleslaw mix
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 2 oz thin rice noodles, cooked
  • ½ cup chopped roasted peanuts
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 6 wraps of choice (such as 8-inch tortillas, spinach wraps, egg wraps, or lettuce leaves)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or 2-cup glass measure, combine all of the peanut sauce ingredients. If the sauce is too thick to pour, stir in some warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time. 
  2. Set aside ¼ cup of the sauce to use for dipping. 
  3. Cut the cooked noodles into about 3-inch pieces (kitchen shears work well for this). 
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the chicken, coleslaw mix, carrots, cooked rice noodles, roasted peanuts, and cilantro.
  5. Pour the remainder of the dressing (about ¾ cup) over the chicken mixture and toss until well mixed. 
  6. Divide the mixture among 6 wraps and roll them up. Cut in half to serve. 
  7. Serve with the reserved peanut sauce for dipping.  
  8. Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or individually wrap or pack pre-made wraps in airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Notes

For gluten free, serve in a gluten-free wrap or serve as a salad without a wrap. 

For peanut free, replace the peanut butter with almond butter, and replace the chopped roasted peanuts with chopped almonds.

* May substitute tamari or soy sauce for the coconut aminos. To do so, use 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce mixed with 2 tablespoons water to replace ¼ cup coconut aminos
