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
- Optional: avocado slices
- Optional: fresh herbs (cilantro, mint, or basil)
- Optional: a squeeze of lime
- Season and Cook Chicken: Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Rest and Slice Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice the chicken thinly against the grain for tenderness.
- Toss Chicken with Sauce: Place the sliced chicken in a bowl and toss it with the sweet chili sauce until evenly coated.
- Prepare Vegetables: Slice the cucumber, bell pepper, and carrot into thin strips. Shred the lettuce if not pre-shredded.
- Warm Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them pliable for wrapping.
- Assemble Wraps: Lay the tortilla flat, then layer on the sauced chicken, followed by the shredded lettuce and prepared vegetables. Add any optional extras like shredded cheese, avocado slices, and fresh herbs. Finish with a squeeze of lime if desired.
- Roll and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly. Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken to save time.
- Feel free to substitute or add your favorite fresh vegetables.
- For extra spice, add some chopped fresh chili or a dash of hot sauce.
- These wraps are great for meal prep when stored separately without the sauce.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.
