Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Teriyaki Chicken Wraps

Step 1: Prepare the Dressing
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 3 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter, a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon of sriracha, 1 teaspoon of minced ginger, and 1 clove of minced garlic. This dressing should be well-combined and creamy, enhancing the flavor profile of your Teriyaki Chicken Wraps.

Step 2: Make the Slaw
In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of prepared shredded coleslaw, 1 cup of shredded red cabbage, 1 cup of matchstick carrots, 1 diced red bell pepper, 1 cup of cooked edamame, 3 chopped green onions, 1/2 cup of salted peanuts, and 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro. Drizzle the dressing over the slaw and toss gently until everything is coated. Allow the slaw to sit for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld beautifully.

Step 3: Heat the Chicken
While the slaw sits, prepare the main protein for your wraps. Microwave the Evol Teriyaki Chicken frozen meals according to the package instructions—generally about 3-4 minutes until heated through and steaming. Make sure the chicken is piping hot and tender, ready to be added to your delightful Teriyaki Chicken Wraps.

Step 4: Assemble Wraps
Now it’s time to create your Teriyaki Chicken Wraps! Take butter or Boston lettuce leaves and spoon a generous amount of the heated teriyaki chicken onto each leaf. Top with a hearty scoop of the flavorful slaw to create the perfect combination of textures and tastes. Serve immediately while the chicken is warm and the slaw is fresh for a satisfying meal.

Expert Tips for Teriyaki Chicken Wraps

Let It Rest: Allow the slaw to sit for at least 10 minutes. This extra time helps the flavors meld beautifully, making your Teriyaki Chicken Wraps even more delicious.
Adjust to Taste: Feel free to tweak the dressing ingredients! Add more sriracha for heat or extra honey for sweetness based on your family’s preferences.
Dry Your Greens: Use a salad spinner to wash and dry your lettuce thoroughly. Dry leaves create stronger wraps that are less likely to tear while enjoying this delightful meal.
Quality Chicken: If you’re using frozen Teriyaki Chicken, check the quality and flavor of different brands. This can significantly affect the final taste of your wraps.
Wrap Stability: Choose larger lettuce leaves like butter or Boston lettuce for sturdy wraps that hold more filling and make for an even better eating experience.

Teriyaki Chicken Wraps Variations & Substitutions

Feel free to make these Teriyaki Chicken Wraps your own creation, elevating flavor and nutrition with a few easy swaps!

Dairy-Free: Swap creamy peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter for a dairy-free delight.
Vegan Option: Replace teriyaki chicken with grilled tofu to enjoy a plant-based twist everyone will love.
Extra Crunch: Add water chestnuts or sliced cucumbers for an extra layer of crunch in your slaw.
Heat It Up: Increase the sriracha for those who crave a little extra kick, or add sliced jalapeños to the wraps.
Fresh Herbs: Experiment with fresh basil or mint leaves in place of cilantro for a refreshing flavor boost.
Different Greens: Use sturdy kale or collard greens instead of lettuce—perfect for a hearty wrap alternative.
Flavor Add-Ins: Toss in some sesame seeds or crushed red pepper flakes to enhance the texture and taste.

Make Ahead Options

These Teriyaki Chicken Wraps are a fantastic choice for meal prep enthusiasts! You can prepare the Asian slaw up to 24 hours in advance by mixing all the slaw components (shredded coleslaw, red cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, edamame, green onions, peanuts, and cilantro) with the dressing and refrigerating it in an airtight container. To maintain freshness, keep the lettuce leaves separate and store them in a clean, dry container. When ready to enjoy, quickly heat the Teriyaki Chicken according to package instructions, assemble your wraps with the chilled slaw, and savor the deliciousness. This prep-ahead approach saves time, making dinner on busy nights a breeze!

How to Store and Freeze Teriyaki Chicken Wraps

Fridge: Keep any leftover Teriyaki Chicken Wraps in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. This helps maintain their freshness and flavor.

Freezer: If you want to store wraps longer, freeze the filling (chicken and slaw) separately from the lettuce. This prevents sogginess; they can last in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Reheating: To enjoy your frozen filling, thaw in the fridge overnight, then reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through. Assemble with fresh lettuce right before serving.

Best Enjoyed Fresh: Ideally, enjoy the wraps immediately after assembling for the best taste and texture. Assemble only what you plan to eat, and save leftovers in components.

Teriyaki Chicken Wraps Recipe FAQs

What kind of lettuce should I use for the wraps?
I recommend using butter or Boston lettuce as they provide a sturdy, crunchy wrap that holds up well with the filling. If you prefer, romaine or iceberg lettuce can also work as substitutes.

How long can I store leftover Teriyaki Chicken Wraps in the fridge?
You can keep any leftover Teriyaki Chicken Wraps in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from getting soggy.

Can I freeze the Teriyaki Chicken filling?
Absolutely! To freeze, separate the filling (chicken and slaw) from the lettuce. Store the filling in an airtight container or a freezer bag for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight and reheat before serving.

What if my sauce is too runny?
If the dressing is too thin, you can thicken it by whisking in a bit more peanut butter. Start with a tablespoon at a time until you achieve your desired consistency, making it perfect for drizzling over your wraps!

Is there a nut-free alternative to the peanut butter?
Yes! If you’re looking for a nut-free substitute, sunflower seed butter or tahini works wonderfully in this recipe and will still provide that creamy texture and flavor.
