Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Peanut Sauce

We are a peanut butter-loving family. My kids always ask for peanut butter on their toast, waffles, and apples. My husband and I enjoy it in our morning smoothies and all four of us like to eat Peanut Butter Snack Bites on the go.

Truth be told, Kraft Peanut Butter is a staple in our pantry. It is so versatile! From scrumptious baking to flavourful sauces, one jar of Kraft Peanut Butter hits home run after home run and offers endless inspiration.

I asked my husband if he wanted to join me in the kitchen to try a new recipe that involved peanut butter and he was right on board. These lightened up Thai chicken wraps use lettuce instead of rice wrappers but you still get to dip them in the delicious peanut sauce – my favourite part!

Begin by making the scrumptious sauce. In a medium bowl, combine Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter, rice wine vinegar, water, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, fish sauce and chili flakes. Using a fork, whisk until smooth and refrigerate while you prepare the wraps.

To prepare the wraps, first mix together in a large bowl finely chopped chicken breast, peanuts, garlic, cilantro, chives, ginger, fish sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, and chili flakes. Wash and dry around 12 leaves of Boston lettuce. Gently scoop 1-2 tablespoons of chicken mixture onto each leaf. Serve on a platter with the peanut sauce next to it, so you can drizzle a spoonful on top.

The whole family will have fun with this meal. Don’t be afraid to get messy! It’s all part of the enjoyment and the adventure of eating with your hands. Each bite is full of flavour and the sweet, mildly spicy peanut sauce complements the savouriness of the chicken wraps.

I love making food as a family. It’s always a memorable experience and it gets all of us involved in meal prep. You can get your older kids to make this yummy peanut butter sauce. Since there are lots of different ingredients, it will feel like they are creating a tasty potion!

Here is the complete step-by-step to make these wraps.
