The best Asian-inspired Gluten-Free Chicken Wraps! This healthy recipe is packed with tender, marinated grilled chicken, a rainbow of crisp, fresh vegetables, and a creamy, dreamy cashew dipping sauce. A perfect gluten-free and dairy-free lunch or light dinner.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken & Marinade:

1 pound boneless & skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

¼ cup coconut aminos

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

2 teaspoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon grated ginger

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

For the Cashew Dipping Sauce:

¼ cup creamy cashew butter

2 tablespoons coconut aminos

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon honey

2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

12 tablespoons warm water

For Assembling the Wraps:

4 large gluten-free tortillas

¼ small red cabbage, thinly sliced

½ cup red bell pepper, diced

½ cup yellow bell pepper, diced

2 carrots, shredded

1 cup fresh spinach

¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

¼ cup green onions, thinly sliced

¼ cup roasted cashews, roughly chopped


Instructions

1. In a bowl or Ziploc bag, combine all chicken marinade ingredients. Add the chicken thighs and ensure they are fully coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

2. Meanwhile, prepare the dipping sauce by whisking all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth. Add warm water last to reach desired consistency.

3. Preheat a grill to 450°F. Grill the marinated chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

4. Remove the chicken from the grill, let it rest for a few minutes, then cut into bite-size chunks.

5. Assemble the wraps: Warm your gluten-free tortillas briefly if desired. Divide the chopped chicken evenly among them.

6. Layer the red cabbage, bell peppers, carrots, spinach, cilantro, green onions, and roasted cashews into the wraps.

7. Drizzle with the cashew dipping sauce or serve it on the side. Roll up the wraps tightly and enjoy.

Notes

Nut Butter Swaps: You can easily use creamy almond butter or peanut butter in place of cashew butter for the dipping sauce.

Make Ahead: For easy meal prep, cook the chicken, chop the veggies, and make the sauce ahead of time. Store everything in separate airtight containers and assemble just before eating.

Grill-Free Option: No grill? Bake the chicken at 400°F for 20-25 minutes or cook it in a skillet.
