Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cooked chicken breasts (grilled, baked, or shredded rotisserie)
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cucumber, sliced thin
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned

Optional Additions

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

Pan and Seasoning

  • Olive oil
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. 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 golden brown and fully cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  3. Coat in Sweet Chili Sauce: Toss the sliced chicken with the sweet chili sauce until evenly coated, infusing it with flavor.
  4. Prepare the Vegetables: Slice the cucumber and bell pepper into thin strips and julienne the carrot to add fresh crunch to the wraps.
  5. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry pan over low heat for a few seconds on each side or microwave them for 10–15 seconds until warm and pliable.
  6. Assemble the Wraps: Lay warm tortillas flat and layer with shredded lettuce, the sweet chili chicken, and fresh vegetables. Add optional ingredients like shredded cheese, avocado slices, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lime if desired for extra flavor and texture.
  7. Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Cut the wraps diagonally in half for easy handling and serving.

Notes

  • You can use grilled, baked, or store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce to your preferred level of spice and sweetness.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
  • Adding fresh herbs like cilantro or basil elevates the flavor with bright notes.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to enjoy later.
  • To make the wraps vegan, substitute chicken with grilled tofu or tempeh and use a vegan sweet chili sauce.
