Ingredients
1 lb chicken thighs or breasts
½ cup sweet chili sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 large tortilla wraps
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup cucumber strips
2 cups shredded lettuce or romaine
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1 lime, cut into wedges (optional)
Instructions
1. Trim chicken and slice into bite-sized strips. Pat dry with a paper towel.
2. In a bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Add chicken and marinate for 15–30 minutes.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Sear chicken until golden, sticky, and cooked through (about 5–6 minutes per side).
4. While the chicken cooks, prep veggies: julienne the cucumber and carrots, shred lettuce, and chop cilantro.
5. Warm tortillas in a dry pan or oven until soft and pliable.
6. Assemble each wrap with lettuce, carrots, cucumber, and chicken. Top with cilantro and extra sweet chili sauce.
7. Squeeze lime over top if desired, wrap tightly, and slice in half. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
For added crispiness, cook the chicken in batches without overcrowding the pan.
Don’t skip patting the chicken dry—this helps get that perfect sear.
Keep wraps tight and layered evenly to avoid sogginess and ensure a clean bite.
