Sauce

- 1 tablespoon honey
Peanut Dipping Sauce
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- Water to thin
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on each side. Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium/high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the cabbage salad. Add the purple cabbage, carrots, and white onion to a bowl. Add the rice vinegar, sesame oil, lime juice, soy sauce, and salt to the vegetables. Toss everything together until completely coated. Add cilantro and toss again. Set aside.
- Prepare the sauce. Whisk all the sauce ingredients together until a thick sauce forms.
- When the chicken has cooled, cut the chicken into chunks or strips. Add half of the sauce to the chicken and stir until the chicken is coated in sauce.
- Assemble the chicken wraps. Place a tortilla on a flat, clean surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of the sauce on the tortilla and top it with two pieces of butter lettuce. Add a scoop of chicken, a scoop of cabbage salad, about 1 tablespoon of chopped peanuts, and about 1 tablespoon of chopped green onion to the wrap. Gently roll the chicken wrap as tight as possible. Repeat until all the wraps have been made.
- To make the peanut dipping sauce place all of the ingredients into a small bowl and whisk to combine. To make thinner add water in 1 tablespoon increments until you've reached desired consistency.
- Serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap or parchment paper for later.
