Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1 pound
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumbers
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro optional
  • Lime wedges for serving

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Meat thermometer (optional)
  • Microwave or dry skillet for warming tortillas

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken breasts in a bowl and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Make sure the chicken is coated evenly with the seasonings.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the sweet chili sauce and soy sauce. Pour half of this mixture over the seasoned chicken, ensuring it's well-coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, cooking for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  4. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
  5. While the chicken is resting, prepare your tortillas. Warm them in a microwave or a dry skillet for a few seconds until they're pliable.
  6. To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, add a handful of shredded lettuce, a few slices of chicken, some shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro if using.
  7. Drizzle the remaining sweet chili sauce over the fillings for extra flavor.
  8. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to encase all the ingredients securely.
  9. Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas and fillings.
  10. Cut each wrap in half diagonally for easier eating and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Chicken must reach internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for food safety. Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. Let chicken rest before slicing to retain juices. Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. Keep fillings separate from tortillas for meal prep until ready to eat. Substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for different twist. Add additional toppings like avocado or sliced bell peppers. Store components separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days in refrigerator. Cooked chicken can be frozen for up to 3 months.
