Description

These Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps are a quick and flavorful meal featuring tender chicken tossed in a tangy sweet chili sauce, paired with fresh vegetables and wrapped in soft flour tortillas. Perfect for a light lunch or easy dinner, they combine savory, sweet, and crisp textures in every bite.


Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Wraps:

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumbers
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and season them with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  3. Add Sauce and Spices: Stir in the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground ginger with the chicken. Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay each flour tortilla flat. Layer with shredded lettuce, the cooked chicken mixture, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, and chopped cilantro if using.
  5. Wrap and Serve: Roll the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling. Slice each wrap in half and serve with lime wedges for an added zesty kick.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute flour tortillas with corn tortillas or gluten-free wraps.
  • Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce based on your preferred level of sweetness and spice.
  • To make it spicier, add some sliced fresh chili or a dash of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
  • Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve immediately for the freshest wrap texture to prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.
