Thai Chicken Wraps

One of my favorite sauces of all time (one that doesn't come from a restaurant anyway...because some of those restaurant sauces are good...like a beurre blanc...I can't do that for the life of me but boy is it good on ahi tuna...I digress) comes from this recipe (you had to read back to the beginning to put the whole sentence together didn't you?). It is a sweet and spicy sauce but the whole wrap itself is light and hearty. It's yummy. I think I want one now...although I just ate breakfast an hour ago.

Ingredients

3 6oz chicken breasts/thighs
1 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs vegetabl oil
1 Tbs grill seasoning

Salad:
1/2 cucumber, peeled, sliced finely
2 cups bean sprouts
1 Cup shredded carrot
12 leaves basil, chopped
1 Tbs sesame seeds
2 tsp sugar
2 Tbs white vinegar
Salt to taste

Spicy peanut sauce:
1/8 C chunky peanut butter
1 Tbs soy sauce
1 Tbs white vinegar
1/4 tsp cayenne
2 Tbs vegetable oil
1/2 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbs sugar

4 12-in tortillas

This is really simple. Basically, marinade the chicken for 30 minutes to an hour. You don't want to marinade it too long or it may become too salty.

After you've marinaded it, cook it in the oil until cooked through. You can do this in strips or as whole pieces of chicken (in the end it will have to be chunks anyway).

While your chicken is cooking, prepare everything for your salad and mix together. Then prepare your sauce. These are accurate measurements however, you can taste it and determine if you want it sweeter (more sugar), more sour (more vinegar), or spicier (more cayenne). Remember that Cayenne is very hot, so do not add too much to start or it may become inedible!

Chop the cooked chicken and mix with the salad base.

Now here's a part for your choosing...I usually serve the salad and the chicken together and leave the sauce on the side allowing people to choose their level of sauciness. Or you can mix it all for them. Then, give everyone a tortilla and let them make their wraps. You don't even have to have a tortilla for this one, it's good all by itself too!
