Thai Chicken Wrap with Spicy Peanut Sauce

I have made this about 3 times in the last 2 weeks at the request of my husband. He is kind of particular about food so I was so excited he liked this. It looks disgusting but tastes so good.

Ingredients


3 chicken breasts
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil (I really use Olive oil)
1 Tablespoon grill seasoning (I like the montreal steak seasoning but I do not use a lot because it is spicy)
**Marinade these ingredients together**

Salad:
1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced at an angle
2 Cups bean sprouts (we don't use these because we don't like them)
1 Cup shredded carrots
3 scallions, sliced at an angle
12 basil leaves, chopped or torn (I could only find these chopped in the herbs so I put in about the same amount as the mint)
3 Tablespoons chopped mint
1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
2 teaspoons sugar
2 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar or white vinegar
salt

Spicy Peanut Sauce:
1/4 Cup room temperature chunky peanut butter
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 Tablespoon rice wine vinegar or white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil (I use Olive oil)

4 (12-inch) flour tortillas or lettuce wraps
*you can really use any type of tortillas or wraps you want*

Directions

Brown chicken and set aside
Combine cucumber, sprouts, carrots, scallions, basil, mint, and sesame seeds with a generous sprinkle of sugar and vinegar. Season salad with salt to taste.
Whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar and cayenne together. Stream in vegetable (olive) oil.
Slice cooked chicken on an angle. Toss with veggies and herbs.
Warm tortillas and pile with chicken and veggies. Drizzle with spicy peanut sauce before wrapping and rolling.

*The peanut sauce is not essential. If you do not like peanut sauce the salad is still really good in the wrap without it.
*This whole meal probably only takes about min to make and it is so yummy. I also like to call it healthy.
