Ingredients
For the Chicken and Veggies
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors), sliced
- ½ cup red onion, sliced
- 4 tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
For the Sauce
- 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for sautéing
Instructions
- Preheat and Season: Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
- Cook Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the grill or skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once cooked, remove them from heat and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain juices.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet used for the chicken, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic, sliced bell peppers, and red onion for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
- Prepare Sauce: Whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl until well combined, creating a sweet and savory sauce.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay out each tortilla flat. Arrange sliced chicken breasts on the tortillas, top with the sautéed veggies, and drizzle the sauce evenly over the fillings.
- Wrap and Serve: Roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings, then cut them in half for easier eating. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful chicken veggie wraps.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute tortillas with gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves.
- You can add avocado or fresh herbs like cilantro for extra freshness.
- Make sure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure it is safely cooked.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber and nutrients.
- Leftover wraps can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but avoid adding the sauce until ready to eat to prevent sogginess.
