Thai Chicken Wraps
1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter 3 tablespoons soy sauce 3 tablespoons water 2 tablespoons cooking oil 1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic 6, 8- to 10-inch green, red, and/or plain flour tortillas 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper 12 ounces skinless, boneless chicken breast strips for stir-frying 1 tablespoon cooking oil 4 cups packaged shredded broccoli (broccoli slaw mix) 1 medium red onion, cut into thin wedges 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
For peanut sauce, in a small saucepan combine sugar, peanut butter, soy sauce, water, the 2 tablespoons cooking oil, and the garlic. Heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring frequently. Set aside. Wrap tortillas in foil. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 10 minutes or until heated and softened. Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl combine garlic salt and pepper. Add chicken, tossing to coat evenly. In a large skillet heat the 1 tablespoon oil. Cook and stir seasoned chicken in hot oil over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm. Add broccoli, onion, and ginger to skillet. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove from heat. To assemble, spread each tortilla with about 1 tablespoon of the peanut sauce. Top with chicken strips and vegetable mixture. Roll up each tortilla, securing with a wooden toothpick. Serve immediately with remaining sauce. Makes 6 servings.
