How to Make Thai Chicken Wrap Bistro Boxes
1. Cook the Chicken
Heat a heavy pan over medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon oil.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for 5–6 minutes per side, until golden and fully cooked (internal temperature 74°C).
Remove and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice or chop into strips.
You can also use rotisserie or pre-cooked chicken if preferred.
2. Prepare the Slaw
While the chicken cooks, slice all vegetables into thin julienne-style strips.
Combine cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, cucumber (if using), and cilantro in a large bowl.
3. Make the Peanut Sauce
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
Peanut butter, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, ginger, garlic, sriracha, lime juice, and water.
Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness with additional water if needed.
4. Assemble the Wraps
Lay one tortilla flat.
Add:
- ⅓ of the vegetables
- ⅓ of the chicken
- ⅓ of the crushed peanuts
- About 1 tablespoon peanut sauce
Roll tightly into a burrito and slice into 4 pieces.
Repeat with remaining tortillas.
You should have 12 wrap pieces total.
5. Pack the Bistro Boxes
Place 3 wrap pieces into each of 4 meal prep containers.
Divide remaining peanut sauce into small containers.
Add about 75 g grapes to each box.
Seal and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Serving & Reheating
- Eat cold for a fresh, crunchy texture
- Or warm briefly in microwave before adding extra sauce
- Add extra lime juice before serving for brightness
