Scale
Main Ingredients
- 300–400g chicken breast or thighs, sliced into thin strips
- 3–4 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 4 flour tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup fresh lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2–3 green onions, chopped
- Optional: fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Slice the chicken into thin strips to ensure quick and even cooking. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of oil, then sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add sweet chili sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, pour in the sweet chili sauce and stir well to coat all pieces evenly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Prep the veggies: While the chicken simmers, wash and chop the lettuce, shred the carrots, slice the red bell peppers, and trim the green onions to add freshness and crunch to the wraps.
- Warm your wraps: Gently warm the flour tortillas in a pan or microwave until they become soft and pliable, making them easier to roll without tearing.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay each wrap flat, place a bed of fresh lettuce, add the sweet chili chicken, then sprinkle the shredded carrots, red bell pepper slices, green onions, and optional herbs on top. Fold or roll the wraps tightly to secure the filling.
- Serve and enjoy: Slice the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately while warm and fresh. Enjoy them alone or paired with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Slice chicken thinly for faster cooking and better sauce absorption.
- Make your own sweet chili sauce for a fresher, personalized flavor.
- Warm tortillas slightly to keep them flexible and prevent breaking.
- Layer crispy veggies on top of the chicken to maintain crunchiness.
- Don’t overfill the wraps to make rolling easier and keep fillings inside.
