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)
Wrap and Vegetables
- 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 (as desired)
- Avocado slices (as desired)
- Fresh herbs such as cilantro, mint, or basil (to taste)
- A squeeze of lime (optional)
- Prepare the Chicken: Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet with a small amount of olive oil 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 the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness and easy wrapping.
- Coat with Sweet Chili Sauce: Toss the sliced chicken in the ½ cup of sweet chili sauce until each piece is evenly coated, providing a flavorful, slightly spicy glaze.
- Prepare Vegetables: Slice the cucumber and bell pepper into thin strips. Julienne the carrot for a crunchy texture. Keep the shredded lettuce ready for layering.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat for about 15 seconds on each side, or microwave for 10–15 seconds until warm and pliable, making them easier to roll.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat and start layering with a handful of shredded lettuce, coated chicken slices, and the sliced vegetables. Add any optional ingredients like shredded cheese, avocado slices, fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lime if desired.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly from one end to the other. Cut each wrap diagonally in half for easier handling and serve immediately.
