Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (for that perfect glaze)
- 8 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage for crunch
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
- Optional: sliced jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or cooking spray for sautéing
Instructions
- Begin by seasoning the chicken strips with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Toss the cooked chicken in the sweet chili sauce until evenly coated.
- While the chicken is cooking, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds in the microwave or on a dry skillet to make them more pliable.
- Place the warm tortilla flat on a plate. Spread a spoonful of shredded lettuce or cabbage in the center. Add the sweet chili chicken, bell peppers, and chopped cilantro. For extra spice, include sliced jalapeños or hot sauce if desired. Wrap tightly to secure all ingredients.
- Cut the wraps in half diagonally for presentation. Serve immediately with side dishes or dipping sauces. Enjoy your flavorful Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps!
Notes
- Use thinly sliced chicken for quicker cooking and better flavor absorption.
- Select ripe, colorful bell peppers for added sweetness and crunch.
- Adjust the amount of sweet chili sauce according to your preferred spice and sweetness levels.
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat tortillas or lettuce wraps instead of traditional flour tortillas.
