Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Lime wedges for serving

Directions & Preparation

1. Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and grated ginger. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated, and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is no longer pink and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Once cooled slightly, slice the chicken into strips.
4. In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper and shredded carrots. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
5. Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet for a few seconds to make them pliable. Lay a tortilla flat and begin layering with lettuce, sautéed vegetables, sliced chicken, and cilantro.
6. Drizzle additional sweet chili sauce over the top, if desired, and fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling before rolling it up tightly.
7. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas. Serve the wraps with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

For make-ahead, prep components separately and assemble just before heating to preserve texture.

Taste and adjust with acid (lemon/vinegar) and salt right at the end to wake up flavors.
