About this Wrap
I rarely buy sandwiches out anymore. Why? It’s so easy to make your own that is way more cost effective and quite frankly way better tasting, too.
Whether it’s between two slices of bread like my Apple Turkey Cheddar Sandwich, or on a roll like this Cucumber Dill Chicken Salad, or all wrapped up like this Oriental Chicken Wrap, a handheld sandwich makes for a satisfying lunch. Pssst, I think you'll also love this Buffalo Ranch Chicken Wrap, too.
This recipe is very similar to the Oriental Chicken Salad Roll Up from Applebee’s but much healthier and much more flavorful in my opinion. We make a homemade peanut sauce for this wrap that the chicken gets coated in that is so tasty! Like seriously don’t be surprised when you find yourself licking your fingers when you finish this wrap.
Recipe Ingredients
- Wraps - I used Ole Spinach Wraps but I’m going to recommend using a burrito sized wrap. With all of the delicious filling ingredients stuffed into this Oriental Chicken Wrap, you’ll lose everything out of the back end of a small tortilla when you try to take a bite.
- Chicken Tenderloins - Tenderloins are great for this recipe because of their smaller size. You can use breasts too since we will be dicing them. Chicken provides a great source of protein making this a hearty meal.
- Broccoli Slaw - Trader Joe’s has a pre-mixed broccoli slaw package in their produce section that adds the perfect crunch. Shredded cabbage will also work.
- PB fit - This is for the sauce. You can also use regular peanut butter, but you’ll need just 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin it as compared to the 6 tablespoons required with the powdered peanut butter.
- Soy Sauce - Just a small bit adds a deep umami flavor. Soy sauce can be replaced with coconut aminos or tamari for a gluten free Oriental Peanut Sauce.

How to Make This Recipe
- First, prepare the chicken. Heat a skillet to medium-high heat and spray with spray grease.
- Finely dice raw chicken tenderloins into 1” pieces. Add the juice of a ½ lime and green goddess seasoning to the hot skillet followed by the chicken.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. Remove from heat and prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- For the filling, shred carrots using a grater (or finely slice with a knife), dice green onion, and cut avocado into thin slices.
- Then make the Peanut Thai Sauce. In a medium mixing bowl, make the PBfit first (with peanut butter powder and water). Then, add everything else into the bowl and whisk until smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Add the cooked chicken to the bowl with the Oriental Peanut Sauce and stir to coat all pieces.
7. Then, assemble the wrap. Layer the avocado in the center of the tortilla first.
8. Then add the broccoli slaw, carrots, and green onions.
9. Add the chicken and any remaining sauce from the bowl. Using your hands, roll carefully into a burrito and tuck the edges of the tortilla in when you get half way. You may need to use your fingers to make the ingredients stay put.
10. Once the wrap is folded, heat the skillet again and spray with cooking spray. Put the wrap on the skillet with the open edge face down. Sear for 2-3 minutes until the wrap gets a golden crust. Roll to the opposite side and sear for 2-3 more minutes. Remove the wrap from the skillet. Slice on a diagonal and enjoy!
Idea: If you have extra filling ingredients, toss them altogether into a tupperware for a meal prepped Oriental Chicken Salad!
Oriental Chicken Wrap FAQs
I don’t suggest making this wrap too far in advance. With extended storage, the homemade sauce will seep into the burrito and make it soggy. If you plan to take this for a lunch on the go, it can be made up to one day in advance. Tightly wrap the burrito in foil (like they do at Chipotle) until you’re ready to enjoy. Remove foil and reheat in the microwave if desired.
I used an Ole Spinach Wrap (for color), but regardless of what you choose I highly suggest a large, soft tortilla wrap. You want something pliable so you’re filling ingredients don't poke through and large enough so they don’t fall out.
Want to make it lower carb? Skip the tortilla and make Oriental Chicken Lettuce Wraps instead!
We sear this Oriental Chicken Wrap on the skillet, to give a nice crisp to the outside of the tortilla, so I recommend serving it warm (immediately after making it). That said, this wrap is still mighty delicious cold and is a great lunch to take on the go.
Make this wrap your own! Instead of chicken, try flaked salmon (I like to do this when I have leftover salmon from a dinner the night before), grilled shrimp, turkey, or grilled tofu.

I made this last week and it was sooo simple and so delicious. Working from home I need something quick to assemble during lunch. We premade the chicken and dressing and assembled it fresh for a few days! Highly recommend.
