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 evenly with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
- Cook the chicken: Heat 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: Stir in the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground ginger with the cooked chicken. Reduce heat slightly and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes so the chicken absorbs the flavors and the sauce thickens a bit.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay each flour tortilla flat and layer with shredded lettuce, the chicken mixture, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, and chopped cilantro if using, evenly distributing ingredients.
- Wrap and serve: Tightly roll up each tortilla to enclose the fillings, then slice the wraps in half diagonally. Serve immediately with lime wedges for a citrusy finish.
Notes
- You can substitute the flour tortillas with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce depending on how sweet or spicy you want the chicken.
- For added crunch, consider adding sliced bell peppers or chopped peanuts inside the wrap.
- Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
