Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps (Printable Format)

Tender chicken strips with fresh veggies in sweet chili sauce, wrapped in warm tortillas.

# What You Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 oz)
02 - 1 tbsp olive oil
03 - ½ tsp salt
04 - ¼ tsp black pepper
05 - ½ tsp garlic powder

→ Vegetables

06 - 1 cup shredded lettuce
07 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
08 - ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
09 - 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
10 - ½ cucumber, sliced into thin strips

→ Sauce

11 - ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce
12 - 2 tbsp mayonnaise
13 - 1 tsp lime juice

→ Wraps

14 - 4 large flour tortillas

# How-To Steps:

01 - Slice the chicken breasts into thin, uniform strips for even cooking.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken strips with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, mayonnaise, and lime juice until smooth and well combined.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 20 seconds or microwave briefly until pliable and easy to fold.
05 - Lay each tortilla flat. Spread sauce generously over the center. Layer with shredded lettuce, julienned carrot, sliced bell pepper, spring onions, cucumber strips, and cooked chicken. Drizzle with additional sauce if desired.
06 - Fold both sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to secure all fillings. Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The sweet and spicy sauce creates this addictive flavor that keeps everyone coming back for seconds
  • You can prep all the vegetables ahead of time and have dinner ready in under 15 minutes
  • Everything wraps up neatly so cleanup is basically nonexistent
02 -
  • Overcrowding the pan when cooking chicken will make it steam instead of sear, so work in batches if your skillet is small
  • Let the chicken rest for a couple minutes before slicing into the wraps, otherwise all those juices end up on your cutting board instead of in your wrap
03 -
  • A julienne peeler or mandoline makes quick work of the carrots and cucumbers, turning prep into a five minute task
  • Let the chicken cool slightly before assembling, otherwise hot meat can make the tortilla soggy and more prone to tearing
