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)

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness and easy wrapping.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep time.
  • Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce based on your spice preference.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves.
  • Adding avocado slices adds creaminess and healthy fats.
  • Fresh herbs like cilantro or mint add a refreshing flavor contrast.
  • Make wraps ahead and wrap tightly in foil or plastic wrap for a convenient grab-and-go lunch.
