Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 cooked chicken breasts (grilled, baked, or shredded rotisserie)
- Olive oil (for cooking)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
Vegetables
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cucumber, sliced thin
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
Wraps & Extras
- 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
- Optional: shredded cheese
- Optional: avocado slices
- Optional: fresh herbs (cilantro, mint, or basil)
- Optional: a squeeze of lime
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice and Toss Chicken: Slice the rested chicken thinly against the grain for tenderness. Toss the sliced chicken in the sweet chili sauce until fully coated, ensuring each piece is flavorful.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the cucumber and bell pepper into thin strips, and julienne the carrot. Shred the lettuce as well, keeping all veggies fresh and crisp for the wrap.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat or microwave for 10–15 seconds until soft and pliable. This prevents cracking when rolling.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the warm tortilla and layer with shredded lettuce, sweet chili coated chicken, and the sliced vegetables. Add optional shredded cheese, avocado slices, and fresh herbs as desired. Finish with a squeeze of lime if using.
- Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Cut the wrap in half diagonally for easy handling and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy shortcut.
- Warming tortillas before assembly prevents cracking during rolling.
- Adjust the spice level by adding sriracha sauce or chili flakes to the sweet chili sauce.
- For a healthier option, choose whole wheat tortillas.
- Serve with a side of fresh salsa or a light dipping sauce if desired.
