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
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and season them with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
