Thai Chicken Wraps

Thai Chicken Wraps

Fast and hearty, the wrap is as popular in American cuisine as the sandwich. In fewer than 30 minutes, quick-cooking chicken, convenient broccoli slaw mix, and an easy peanut sauce will wrap up a dinner bursting with the intriguing flavors of the Pacific Rim.

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
6, 8- to 10-inch green, red, and/or plain flour tortillas
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper
12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast strips for stir-frying
1 tablespoon cooking oil
4 cups packaged shredded broccoli (broccoli slaw mix)
1 medium red onion, cut into thin wedges
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Method

1. For peanut sauce, in a small saucepan combine sugar, peanut butter, soy sauce, water, the 2 tablespoons cooking oil, and the garlic. Heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring frequently. Set aside.

2.Wrap tortillas in foil. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 10 minutes or until heated and softened. Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl combine garlic salt and pepper. Add chicken, tossing to coat evenly.

3.In a large skillet heat the 1 tablespoon oil. Cook and stir seasoned chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm. Add broccoli, onion, and ginger to skillet. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove from heat.

4.To assemble, spread each tortilla with about 1 tablespoon of the peanut sauce. Top with chicken strips and vegetable mixture. Roll up each tortilla, securing with a wooden toothpick. Serve immediately with remaining sauce.
