Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice chicken breasts into thin strips and marinate them with soy sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), grated ginger, and minced garlic. Let the chicken soak in the flavors for 15 minutes while preparing the vegetables.
- Make the Asian Slaw: In a large bowl, combine thinly shredded red cabbage, julienned carrots, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro. Toss gently to mix evenly.
- Whisk the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine natural peanut butter, apple cider vinegar (natural), rice vinegar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), brown sugar (natural), minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until smooth and creamy, adding water incrementally to achieve a drizzle-ready consistency.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook marinated chicken strips until golden and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool briefly.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread a spoonful of the dressing over each flatbread. Layer with the cooked chicken, then heaping spoonfuls of the crunchy Asian slaw. Add sliced red bell peppers if using. Roll tightly and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Marinate chicken a few hours ahead for deeper flavor.
- Shred cabbage and carrots finely to make the slaw easy to bite and wrap.
- Adjust dressing consistency with water to keep it creamy but light.
- Warm flatbreads briefly for softness and flexiblity to avoid tearing.
- Add fresh cilantro just before assembling to preserve its vibrant flavor.
