Perfect for lunch or dinner, these Thai Chicken Wraps with Spicy Peanut Sauce are packed with veggies and are full of flavor. The spicy peanut sauce takes them to a whole new level!
Pregnancy cravings are a funny thing. I’m in my third trimester right now, so I don’t get many of them anymore (I get the most during that first trimester), but still – when I get one, I have to fulfill it!! The other day, I started having a craving for some sort of Thai flavored noodles with a peanut sauce. Then I remembered this Thai Shrimp and Noodles recipe, and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Well, since December was a month filled with not a lot of cooking on my part, and since I’m trying to build up my reserves of posts for when I have this baby, I didn’t want to make a recipe that I’ve made before that I couldn’t blog about. (Yes, my blog runs my life!!) So the first thought I had was that Rachael Ray certainly had a recipe with a peanut sauce that could curb my craving.
As I sat to do my menu for the week, I sat down at the computer to search for a RR recipe that would work. I came across these chicken wraps at the beginning of my search, and since they had such a high rating, I thought I’d give them a try.
Well, they weren’t exactly what I was looking for to curb that craving. But that doesn’t mean that they weren’t delicious!! I actually really enjoyed all the flavors and textures going on. The biggest complaint about this recipe on the RR site was about the peanut sauce, but I liked it. I didn’t love it so much that I wanted to eat it with a spoon or anything, but on the wrap, I thought it was really good. And – I think this would be a great recipe to use up some extra produce from your fridge. I think the veggies would be interchangeable. I followed the recipe, except I left out the bean sprouts. But I think they would be great with some cabbage or broccoli – or anything you have on hand!! And it’s quick – which is always a plus in my book!

I can't believe you are already in your third trimester…how exciting! When exactly are you due? And these wraps look pretty darn good. I was watching Rachel Ray at the gym this morning, and as always, she was cooking up something tasty. Thank you for sharing this meal with me! Have a great Sunday with your family and friends.

I love wraps, they just taste so much better than a regular (boring) sandwich, and I love anything spicy. This looks healthy and delicious! I've submitted two entries for Saturdays with Rachael Ray, I hope that's okay. Thanks for hosting and have a great weekend!

Would you believe that yesterday I seriously got the worst, sudden craving for a big bowl of Thai Noodles with Peanut Sauce?! Maybe it's a 3rd tri thing? I'm loving the idea of all that goodness rolled up in a quick and easy wrap.
