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 chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and season them well with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
- Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Add sauces and seasonings: Stir in the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors and the sauce to thicken a bit.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay each flour tortilla flat on a plate. Begin by layering shredded lettuce, then spoon the warm chicken mixture over it. Add shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, and sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro on top if using.
- Wrap and serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the fillings. Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately with lime wedges for a fresh, zesty accent.
Notes
- You can substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
- For a spicier kick, add a little sriracha or chopped fresh chili to the sauce.
- Prepare the chicken mixture in advance and reheat before assembling the wraps for a quick meal.
- Serve with a side of steamed rice or a light salad to make it more filling.
- Cilantro is optional and can be omitted if you are not a fan of its flavor.
