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 them generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Simmer with Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and add the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground ginger to the skillet. Stir everything to coat the chicken evenly and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors together.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay each flour tortilla flat and begin layering with shredded lettuce followed by the sweet chili chicken mixture, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, and fresh cilantro if using.
- Wrap and Serve: Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and slice each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas and tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Add sliced avocado or a dollop of sour cream for extra creaminess.
- You can substitute chicken breasts with thigh meat for juicier results.
- If you prefer a spicier wrap, add a few dashes of hot sauce or chopped fresh chili.
- Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it tender and juicy.
