Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 2 cooked chicken breasts (grilled, baked, or shredded rotisserie)
  • ½ cup sweet chili sauce
  • Olive oil (for cooking)
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cucumber, sliced thin
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned

Wrap and Extras

  • 4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)
  • Optional: shredded cheese (about ½ cup)
  • Optional: avocado slices (1 avocado, sliced)
  • Optional: fresh herbs (cilantro, mint, or basil – 2 tablespoons chopped)
  • Optional: a squeeze of lime (from ½ lime)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet with olive oil over medium heat, then cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
  3. Toss with Sweet Chili Sauce: Place the sliced chicken in a bowl and toss with the ½ cup of sweet chili sauce until all pieces are evenly coated.
  4. Prepare the Vegetables: Thinly slice the cucumber and bell pepper. Julienne the carrot into matchstick-sized pieces. Wash and shred the lettuce.
  5. Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them pliable for wrapping.
  6. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the warmed tortillas. Place shredded lettuce down the center, add the chili-coated chicken, and top with sliced cucumber, bell pepper, and julienned carrot. Add optional toppings such as shredded cheese, avocado slices, and fresh herbs. Finish with a squeeze of lime if desired.
  7. Wrap and Serve: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly. Cut the wraps diagonally in half and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time if preferred.
  • Substitute sweet chili sauce with your favorite Asian-inspired BBQ sauce for a different flavor.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas or lettuce wraps.
  • Adding avocado and fresh herbs enhances freshness and texture.
  • Serve with extra lime wedges or a side of dipping sauce for extra zest.
