Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps Recipe Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound), sliced into strips
- ¾ cup sweet chili sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- ½ cup sliced cucumber
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)
How to Make Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps Recipe
Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the sliced chicken, ½ cup sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well, cover, and marinate for at least 10 minutes (longer if you have the time).
Step 2: Cook the Chicken
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and toss with the remaining ¼ cup sweet chili sauce for extra flavor.
Step 3: Prepare the Wraps
Warm the tortillas slightly in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable. Spread about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt) on each tortilla, then layer the lettuce, carrots, cucumber, cooked chicken, and cilantro.
Step 4: Roll and Serve
Roll each tortilla up tightly, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your sweet, savory, and crispy Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps!
