I found this recipe at Little Birdie Secrets (of granola fame), and I love it. It's super mild, so my kids loved it (but you could always add some sriracha or other chili sauce for a bit of a kick), and it's super fast, so I loved it, and it's super delicious, so we all loved it. I added the changes I made in italics below.
Peanut Wraps
Ingredients:
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 tbs cooking oil (I used canola)
4 cups broccoli slaw (I used regular cabbage coleslaw because that's all I could find at the store)
1 medium red onion (I used half of a red onion and half a package of green onions because I thought it would go over better with the girls.)
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
Tortillas (Whole wheat from Meijer are the BEST!)
Peanut Sauce:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup peanut butter (I used creamy, but I bet chunky would be good for some extra crunch)
3 tbs soy sauce
5 tbs water
3 tbs cooking oil
1 or 2 cloves freshly pressed garlic cloves
Directions:
Season chicken strips with garlic salt and pepper. In a large skillet cook chicken in hot oil on medium-high until no pink left. Put aside and keep warm.
In same skillet add broccoli mix, onion, and ginger. Cook until crisp but tender. (Like 2 minutes.)
Make peanut sauce while veggies cook. In a small saucepan combine sauce ingredients, heat and stir until dissolved.
Serve by layering the veggies, chicken, and sauce in a tortilla. Wrap it up. Eat it up. Lick your plate. Makes 6-8 wraps. (Makes a great salad too!)

For Annie:)
Red Thai Curry
1 Tbsp. Veggie Oil
1 Tbsp. Red Curry Paste (i use Thai Kitchen)
1 (14oz) Can Coconut Milk (canned c. milk is in the Asian isle which is also generally the mexican isle)
1/2 C. Chicken Stock
1 Pound Chicken/Pork/Beef diced (1 or 2 chicken breasts cooked over med-high heat about 5 minutes each side, let them sit at least 3 minutes afterwards before slicing so juices don't run out)
3 C. Assorted Veggies ie.snow peas, diced carrot, broccoli, bell peppers
2 Tbsp. Julienne cut FRESH Basil
1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar (you can substitute it with honey which is nice)
1 Tbsp Fish sauce (i've made it with and without and can't really taste a difference. fish sauce reeks!)
4-6 C. cooked rice
Heat oil in skillet on med. heat. Add curry paste to oil and cook, stirring till fragrant. Add stock and coconut milk and bring to simmer over med-high heat. Stir in sugar and fish sauce till well blended.
Stir in meat and veggies and simmer till veggies are crisp-tender. Remove from heat a stir in Basil. Careful!!! Broccoli over cooks easily and then it's yuck! Serve over rice.
Note: if you like the sauce thick let it simmer a bit before adding the veggies.
Makes 4-6 servings depending on appetite.
