It's Time For a Change

I've had this blog for about 4 1/2 years and I feel like it's time for a change. So I'm starting a new blog... The Traveling Circus. Ideas to make your life feel like less of a circus. In my new blog, I will share tips on travel, saving money, and family life. I'll post all of my new recipes on the new blog and I'll also repost some of my favorites. I'll leave this blog here so you can still view all of my recipes that I've posted. Check out the new blog!

Thai Chicken Wraps with Peanut Sauce

Chicken:
1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar

Peanut sauce:
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 Tbsp canola oil or peanut oil
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Veggie saute:
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 red onion, diced
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced

To wrap:
6 12-inch flour tortillas
3 cups hot cooked rice
4 green onions, thinly sliced
chopped roasted salted peanuts

Combine garlic powder, pepper, salt, and sugar in a small bowl. Rub mixture onto both sides of chicken. Grill the chicken or cook in a skillet for about 5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Place on a plate covered with foil. Let chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into strips.

Combine the ingredients for the peanut sauce in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the onion, cabbage, carrots, ginger, and garlic. Saute, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes, until the veggies are crisp tender.

Place a scoop of the warm rice on a tortilla. Top with sliced chicken, sauteed veggies, and sprinkle the peanuts and green onions on top. Drizzle with peanut sauce. Roll up tightly.
