Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps (Printable)

Tender chicken strips with fresh vegetables and zesty sweet chili sauce rolled in warm tortillas for a satisfying handheld meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 ounces)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - ½ teaspoon salt
04 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
05 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder

→ Vegetables

06 - 1 cup shredded lettuce
07 - 1 medium carrot, julienned
08 - ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
09 - 4 green onions, thinly sliced
10 - ½ cucumber, sliced into thin strips

→ Sauce

11 - ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce
12 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional, for a creamier wrap)
13 - 1 teaspoon lime juice

→ Wraps

14 - 4 large flour tortillas

# Steps:

01 - Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for quick, even cooking.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together sweet chili sauce, mayonnaise (if using), and lime juice until smooth. Set aside for assembly.
04 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds until pliable and easy to fold.
05 - Lay each warm tortilla flat. Spread a generous spoonful of sauce over the center. Layer with shredded lettuce, carrot, bell pepper, green onions, cucumber, and cooked chicken. Drizzle extra sauce on top if desired.
06 - Fold both sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The sweet chili sauce creates this perfect balance of tangy and slightly spicy that makes every bite interesting
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble them in minutes for the fastest weekday lunch ever
02 -
  • Overcrowding the pan will steam the chicken instead of searing it, so cook in batches if your skillet is small
  • The sauce consistency matters, too thick and it does not spread, too thin and it drips everywhere when you eat
03 -
  • Warm your tortillas properly, cold ones crack and make rolling frustrating
  • Do not overfill the wraps or they will be impossible to roll tightly
