Ingredients

Scale

Chicken & Marinade

  • 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

Wrap Fillings

  • 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

  1. Season the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a bowl and season evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger, ensuring full coverage for balanced flavor.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: In a separate bowl, combine sweet chili sauce and soy sauce. Pour half over the seasoned chicken, coating thoroughly. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is no longer pink inside.
  4. Rest and Slice: Remove chicken from heat and allow it to rest a few minutes to retain juices. Then slice into thin strips for easy wrapping.
  5. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas briefly in the microwave or a dry skillet until soft and pliable to fold without cracking.
  6. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a warmed tortilla flat. Add shredded lettuce, sliced chicken, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, and chopped cilantro if using, layered in the center.
  7. Add Sauce: Drizzle the remaining sweet chili sauce over the fillings for an extra burst of flavor.
  8. Roll the Wraps: Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll tightly from the bottom to securely enclose the ingredients.
  9. Repeat: Assemble the remaining wraps following the same process.
  10. Serve: Cut each wrap diagonally in half for easy eating and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a refreshing finish.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken longer than 30 minutes for enhanced flavor infusion.
  • Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free if desired.
  • Substitute chicken breast with thigh meat for a juicier result.
  • Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce based on your preferred spice and sweetness level.
  • For a low sodium option, use low-sodium soy sauce and reduce added salt.
