How to Make Thai Satay Chicken Wraps

Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken thigh fillets
  • 1 bottle Marion’s Kitchen Thai Spicy Satay Marinade (or try my homemade satay sauce)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 200g (7 oz) mixed salad leaves
  • 1 small cucumber, sliced
  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves
  • 4 large soft flour tortillas, toasted

Directions:

  1. Add the chicken thighs to a large bowl and pour over ½ of the satay sauce. Mix to coat the chicken evenly.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan or grill plate over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Cook the chicken for about 4–5 minutes on each side, or until it is golden and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a chopping board and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  3. To serve, place the mixed salad leaves, cucumber slices, and fresh mint leaves on a toasted tortilla. Slice the chicken and place it on top of the salad.
  4. Drizzle a little more satay sauce on top, then roll up the tortilla to form your wraps.

How to Serve Thai Satay Chicken Wraps

Serve the Thai Satay Chicken Wraps warm. They make a tasty main dish and can be enjoyed with a side of extra satay sauce for dipping. You can also pair them with a refreshing drink like iced tea or lemonade.

How to Store Thai Satay Chicken Wraps

If you have leftover wraps, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to eat, reheat the wraps in a pan or microwave. It is best to store the fillings and tortillas separately to keep them fresh.

Tips to Make Thai Satay Chicken Wraps

  • Marinate the chicken for a longer time for even more flavor. You can do this a few hours before cooking.
  • Feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers or avocado for extra crunch and taste.
  • If you like it spicy, add sliced chili or a spicy sauce to your wraps.

Variation

You can easily change up this recipe by using shrimp or tofu instead of chicken for a different protein option. If you’re in the mood for something lighter, try using lettuce leaves instead of tortillas for a fresh wrap.
