My New Favorite Lunch!

Cashew Chicken Wraps have become my go-to lunch option and I just can’t get enough of them! I’ve started making a large batch every Monday and have been enjoying it for lunch almost every day during the week.

Packed with flavor and nutrition, this meal is the perfect balance of protein and veggies, making it both filling and satisfying. If you’re looking for a quick and easy lunch option that won’t disappoint, give these cashew chicken wraps a try!

Sauce Ingredients

• We recommend using Hellman’s or Best Foods mayonnaise for its robust flavor that isn’t overly sweet. Use full-fat to keep the sauce from becoming watery.
• As for the Dijon mustard, we prefer Grey Poupon for its flavor and thickness. Be sure to use Dijon and not yellow mustard, as the flavor difference is significant.
• To balance the sauce and add a subtle tang, we suggest using rice vinegar. If you come across a label that says rice wine vinegar, don’t worry – it’s the same thing.
• Lastly, when adding honey to the sauce, we prefer a slightly sweeter taste, but if you’re worried about it being too sweet, add it slowly and to taste.

The Cashew Chicken Wraps Filling

• Cooked chicken: We recommend using one pound of raw chicken that has been seasoned and cooked before being chopped or shredded for the filling. You can either pick up some rotisserie chicken at the store or try our favorite baked chicken breast recipe link in the notes of the recipe card.
• Purple/red cabbage: The cabbage adds such a great crisp and refreshing crunch. If you prefer, grab already shredded (green) cabbage instead.
• Matchstick carrots: We use matchstick carrots to make prep easier, but if you have whole carrots, simply shred them on the large holes of a cheese grater instead.
• Snap peas: If you aren’t a fan, use edamame instead.
• Red bell pepper: We use about half of one pepper in this recipe. Save the rest and dice it up to add to a salad, Chicken Stir-Fry, or soup later.
• Cashews: We prefer to use dry-roasted and lightly salted cashews. They deliver more flavor without any extra effort on your part!

Optional Ingredients

• Avocado: For a nice, creamy texture in your wraps, use a ripe avocado. Make sure your avocado is ripe for maximum creaminess.
• Cilantro: Add a burst of freshness to your wraps by throwing in a handful of cilantro before rolling them up tightly. If you’re not fond of cilantro, try adding fresh lime juice instead.
• Wonton strips: Look for wonton strips near salad toppings like croutons or tortilla strips. These thin, crispy noodles are fried or baked until golden brown and add a satisfying crunch and flavor to your wraps.
