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
Wrap and Veggies
- 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cucumber, sliced thin
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
Optional Extras
- Shredded cheese
- Avocado slices
- Fresh herbs (cilantro, mint, or basil)
- A squeeze of lime
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until it is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), ensuring it is fully cooked.
- Rest and slice: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices. Then slice the chicken thinly against the grain for tenderness.
- Coat Chicken with Sauce: Toss the sliced chicken in the sweet chili sauce until each piece is well coated and sticky with flavor.
- Prepare the vegetables: Slice the cucumber and bell pepper into thin strips and julienne the carrot to create fresh crisp veggies for the wraps.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas briefly in a dry pan over medium heat or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them pliable and prevent cracking when rolled.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and layer with shredded lettuce, the coated chicken, sliced vegetables, and any optional extras like shredded cheese, avocado slices, or fresh herbs. Add a squeeze of lime if desired.
- Roll and serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to encase the filling. Cut the wrap diagonally in half, and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken speeds up preparation and simplifies the recipe.
- Warming tortillas prior to rolling helps prevent them from cracking.
- Adjust the wrap’s spice level by adding sriracha or chili flakes if you prefer more heat.
- Fresh herbs add bright flavor but are optional based on preference.
