Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat for a healthier option)
1 cup shredded lettuce (romaine recommended)
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
1/4 cup chopped green onions

Optional add-ons:

Avocado slices
Pickled ginger
Edamame
Sesame seeds
Spicy mayo or sriracha

Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil to create the marinade. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, making sure they are fully coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Step 2: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.
Step 3: While the chicken cooks, prepare the vegetables. Wash and shred the lettuce and carrots. Slice the bell peppers and chop the green onions. Mix and match veggies as you like for added color and crunch.
Step 4: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Start by placing a generous amount of shredded lettuce in the center. Add sliced chicken, carrots, bell peppers, and green onions. Include any optional add-ons you desire, such as avocado or sesame seeds. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it from the bottom up to secure the filling.

Tips & Variations

For best results, marinate the chicken for several hours to enhance flavor.
Use a zip-top bag for marinating to evenly coat the chicken and make cleanup easy.
Try using whole wheat or spinach tortillas for a healthier or more colorful wrap.
Add a drizzle of spicy mayo or sriracha for a bit of heat.
Mix different colored bell peppers for a vibrant, attractive wrap.
Wrap finished wraps in parchment paper for easy handling, especially when serving a crowd.

Storage

Store assembled wraps tightly wrapped in foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best texture, keep the chicken and vegetables separate and assemble fresh before eating. Reheat the chicken gently in a skillet or microwave before assembling. Avoid microwaving the entire wrap to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I use other types of meat for this wrap?

Yes, grilled beef, pork, or tofu can work well with teriyaki flavors. Adjust cooking times accordingly for the protein chosen.
