  2. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Add second part of oil and then chicken. Sear chicken on both sides until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes total.
  3. Warm wraps according to package directions. Give peanut sauce a stir (note: if made ahead and refrigerated, you may need to add a splash of water to thin it out).

  5. Serve wraps with cucumber sticks on the side. Dip the cucumber sticks in some peanut sauce if you’d like.
