Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Mixture
  • 2 cups Shredded cooked chicken Substitute with tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian option.
  • 1/3 cup Creamy peanut butter Use almond butter for a different flavor profile.
  • 2 tablespoons Soy sauce Opt for gluten-free soy sauce to keep the dish gluten-free.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Maple syrup can be used for a vegan alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar Substitute with apple cider vinegar if unavailable.
  • 1 teaspoon Sesame oil Can be replaced with vegetable oil for a lighter option.
  • 2 cloves Minced garlic Fresh garlic is best, but garlic powder can work in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon Grated ginger Ground ginger is a suitable substitute.
For the Wraps
  • 1 large head Lettuce leaves Collard greens or cabbage leaves are great alternatives.
  • 1 cup Shredded carrots Try bell pepper strips for a colorful variation.
  • 1 cup Sliced bell peppers Any bell pepper variety works well.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped fresh cilantro Feel free to omit if you're not a fan, or substitute with parsley.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped peanuts Sunflower seeds can be used for nut-free wraps.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and minced garlic until smooth and silky, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add shredded cooked chicken and pour half of the peanut sauce over it, tossing until thoroughly coated.
  3. Wash and dry the outer leaves of lettuce, laying 4-6 leaves flat on a clean cutting board.
  4. Spoon an even portion of the peanut-coated chicken onto the center of each lettuce leaf, adding shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, and cilantro.
  5. Drizzle a little more peanut sauce over the chicken mixture in each wrap.
  6. Starting from the bottom, carefully roll each lettuce leaf around the filling, folding the sides inward to secure.
  7. Serve the finished wraps on a platter, seam side down, with extra peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
