Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Wraps:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup diced cucumbers
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Add Sauces and Spices: Stir in the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Reduce heat slightly and simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Layer the shredded lettuce first, then spoon on the sweet chili chicken mixture. Top with shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, and chopped fresh cilantro if using.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it tightly into a wrap. Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy handling. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken breasts with chicken thighs for a juicier result.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free tortillas and tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Add sliced avocado or a drizzle of ranch dressing for extra creaminess.
- These wraps are best served fresh but can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce to suit your preferred spice level.
