Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 2 cooked chicken breasts (grilled, baked, or shredded rotisserie)
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce
  • Olive oil (for cooking)
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)

Vegetables and Wraps

  • 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cucumber, sliced thin
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned

Optional Add-ins

  • Shredded cheese
  • Avocado slices
  • Fresh herbs (cilantro, mint, or basil)
  • A squeeze of lime

Instructions

  1. Season and Cook Chicken: Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and fully cooked (internal temperature reaching 165°F). Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Slice Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken thinly against the grain for tenderness and better texture.
  3. Coat Chicken in Sauce: Toss the sliced chicken in ½ cup of sweet chili sauce until all pieces are evenly coated.
  4. Prepare Vegetables: Slice the cucumber and bell pepper into thin strips and julienne the carrot for a fresh, crunchy texture.
  5. Warm Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat or microwave them for 10–15 seconds until warm and pliable.
  6. Assemble Wraps: On each warm tortilla, layer shredded lettuce, the sweet chili chicken, and prepared vegetables. Add optional ingredients like shredded cheese, avocado slices, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lime according to taste.
  7. Wrap and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly to enclose the fillings. Cut each wrap in half diagonally for easy eating.

Notes

  • Warm tortillas make them easier to roll and less likely to tear.
  • Customize your wrap with your favorite fresh herbs or add a squeeze of lime for added brightness.
