Notes
- Chicken: Rotisserie chicken is a huge time-saver here, but leftover grilled or baked chicken breasts work just as well. Just make sure it’s shredded into bite-sized pieces.
- Peanut Butter: Creamy peanut butter gives the sauce its signature flavor, but almond butter or cashew butter can be used if you need a peanut-free option. Just look for a variety with no added sugar or oil.
- Lettuce: Butter lettuce is the go-to for wraps since it’s soft and pliable, but Romaine or even iceberg leaves can work in a pinch. Look for large, unbroken leaves for easy filling.
- Make-ahead tip: You can prep the chicken filling and sauce up to 3–4 days in advance. Store everything separately and assemble just before serving for the freshest flavor and texture.
