Four Happy Tummies: Thai Peanut Wraps

I have been out out town the past 2 weekends in a row (we went to the river in Arizona for Memorial Weekend and then we attended a wedding in San Luis Obispo last weekend). It has been hectic at home trying to prepare and come back from each of these trips all while preparing healthy meals for my family and working full time! And simply bc we ate well against my standards while we were out of town, some serious nutrition was definitely in order once we got home.

One of the meals I prepared was Thai Peanut Chicken Wraps. I found the recipe on Pinterest and it was fairly simple and pretty tasty. I did make a few changes though (of course)! Bc I was fighting a mean cold, I had made a batch of Chicken Soup earlier in the week (as I've explained previously, I boil an entire chicken to make the stock but don't use nearly all of the meat in the actual soup so I reserve a good amount of meat for a later meal). So I had a bag of boiled chicken (white and dark meat) on hand to make this recipe. It's all about meal planning!!!

I also couldn't find broccoli slaw anywhere, and I wasn't about to make it myself, so I used bean sprouts instead. They are packed with nutrition and they have a soft crunch similar to that of cooked broccoli slaw. It worked. I used a cheese grater to shred the carrot but I think I added triple the amount that the recipe called for (sort of accidentally). But again...it worked. As for the sauce, I didn't have creamy peanut butter (who eats that anyways) so I used crunchy but I also didn't have any peanuts on hand (like the recipe called for) so it was pretty much a wash.

Lastly, I used some organic whole wheat lavash bread for the wrap. I (usually) always have this in the house as it's a favorite among all 4 of us. It's similar to a tortilla but a little softer. I use them for all sorts of things and they were very good as wraps for these ingredients.

My assembly line...
