1. What are the best gluten-free wraps to use?

There are many great gluten free wraps available today. Look for tortillas made from cassava flour, almond flour, or a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose blend. These tend to be more pliable and less prone to cracking than some corn or brown rice tortillas.

2. Can I bake the chicken instead of grilling it?

Absolutely! If you don't have a grill, you can bake the marinated chicken thighs in a 400°F oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through. You'll still get a delicious and tender result for your Gluten Free Chicken Wraps.

3. Is this recipe good for meal prep?

Yes, it's perfect! You can grill the chicken, chop all the vegetables, and mix the sauce ahead of time. Store everything in separate containers in the fridge. When you're ready to eat, simply assemble your wrap in minutes. It's one of the best Gluten Free Dairy Free Meal Ideas for lunches.

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.
